Chronological Bible Reading Guide

INTRODUCTION

By using this guide, you will be able to read the entire Bible in a detailed chronological order in three years. The program divides the year into months of 30 days each. Read the Bible yourself, rather than entrusting your guidance on such a vital matter only to others. The Bible itself encourages us to “search the Scriptures daily to see whether these things are so” (Acts 17:11). By reading the Bible chronologically you will also gain an intimate, historical perspective.

How to read Bible references:

Bible references in parenthesis below have been abbreviated.
At any time, you may click on the Abbreviations List link in the navigation bar to consult the list and familiarize yourself with the referencing system used throughout this Web site. The following are examples of references and their meaning:

Ps 19:1-44 = Psalms, chapter 119, verses 1 to 44.

Zec 7:1-3, 10 = Zechariah, chapter 7, verses 1 to 3 and verse 10.

Jn 18:28-35; 20:5 = Gospel of John, chapter 18, verses 28 to 35 and chapter 20, verse 5.

We encourage you to download and/or print the Chronological Bible Reading Guide, so that you can keep it next to your Bible and follow it in your regular reading, without missing any passages. Use the index in your Bible to find the page of each Bible Book.

You may expect God to reveal himself to you if you seek him with a prayerful heart and with the determination to obey him. Jesus said: “If any man will do his will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself” (John 7:17).

Note: The order of events and of the date of writing of the Books of the Bible is often unknown. With regard to historical passages, the date suggested is not that of the composition of the narrative, but rather of the setting of the story. For instance, it is not known when the Book of Job was written, but it is placed after the Patriarchs, since the story it contains seems to be set in that time, or at least before the Exodus. I have used harmonies composed by others in both Kings, Chronicles and the four Gospels, although in some places I would personally have chosen another order. Rationalistic and unbelieving commentators on the Bible tend to suppose a time of writing of Bible Books as far removed from the reported miraculous events as they can.
