Read the bible in Chronological order?

If you havent thot about doing this, maybe you should.

I mean all the other books we read are usually in chronological order - anyway take look at a couple of websites that can help...

1. http://eword.gospelcom.net/year/ (bibleyear.com)

2. http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/readingplans/chronological.php (biblegateway.com)

Both sites are pretty useful.

I hope this helps.

I wanted to point out that the first link for reading in 60 days is not the whole Bible, just the main stories, which is very helpful for getting the big picture quickly, but may not be what someone who wants to read it all is looking for.

I encourage everyone to read the Bible. It can be hard the first time but it gets easier as you begin to get the big picture and start to recognize names and places from previous readings.

I`ve read the Bible through a number of times throughout my life but now I`m reading it in chronological order but I`m reading through VERY slowly with a map & lots of notebooks b/c this time I`m wanting to place names with places and to put it all in order. I`m REALLY enjoying reading the Bible this way. Google Bible maps has a neat tool where you can click the book & chapter & see the locations.

I just bought a NKJV chronological study bible thats puts Job where my other study bible puts the date of Job around. I've never heard a real explanation why some believe Job was around just after creation, but it's explanation that it belongs during the time of solomon made pretty good sense. One element that I've noticed can throw off what chronological actually means is when a book's placement is based on when it was written, or when the events took place.

I've read the bible (and some of the aprophyca (mispelled I know)) straight through about three times. It's not something I suggest doing if you're not prepared to really put some time into it.

Interresting idea, but all the futurist readers and such (I disagree for example with the place of Job) makes it doubtable.

Also the language and the temathics of the Bible makes most clear if you read "from beggining to end". The "chronological order" can make the things even longer then they should be (like you'd have to read for Exo. all speeches that mention it, and also when they are actually told).

But if you have the strenght for that...

reading in 61 days is a good idea.

in depth study is good too, but reading faster helps you remember better, so its good to do both.

Guys a good help to read all of this is audible bible. It gives narration and text (but no reading plan).

I often find when I hear others read, I hear something that I might often have missed on my own.
