The following reading plans are available for those who wish to commit to reading through entire Bible.

Reading Guide #1 – Reading the Bible with Purpose

J. Thomas developed this reading guide to be helpful for those who wish to read the biblical books most often cited and referenced by other biblical books first, while leaving the less cross-referenced texts towards the end.

Reading Guide #2 – Reading the Bible Canonically

(1-year or 3-year – Protestant and Catholic Versions)

J. Thomas developed this reading guide by organizing the First Testament books in the order they appear in the Hebrew Bible and by organizing the New Testament books by the order suggested by Brevard Childs in his book, The Church’s Guide for Reading Paul.
