An interesting Bible reading plan has been developed by Michael Coley. He has divided the Bible into seven different section (New Testament letters, Old Testament books of law, Old Testament books of history, Psalms, the remaining Old Testament books of wisdom, prophecy, and New Testament history) with a Bible reading from each section on a rotating basis. Thus, Sunday’s reading is from the Epistles, Monday from the Pentateuch, etc.
This approach is described on the website: www.bible-reading.com:
Here’s the Bible reading plan that I use. Each day of the week, I read anywhere from one to six chapters out of a different part of the Bible. Each week, I cover one or more chapters out of each major area of the Bible. But, by switching areas daily, I don’t get bogged down several days or weeks on an area that I might not currently find as interesting. I made this plan up myself, after failing at my annual goal of reading through the Bible every year. It has worked well for me for six years and counting!
Following this plan, you can read the Bible through in a year. The website lets you customize the start date so you can begin at any time during the year. The website provides a reading table for the entire year, as well as monthly and weekly calendars. You can also read the daily section online at the site, choose different versions of the Bible, and choose to read with or without background music.
For those who have found traditional Bible reading plans boring, or for those who seek something different, this approach might fill the bill.
