2007 mouse: To start with, focus on reading the Bible for familiarization. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. I would recommend that you read the Bible through in order to get a good overview and to become more familiar with its content. Don't feel you have to stop and look up every word and every verse. Just read it for now. Good read-the-Bible-in-a-year schedules are available on the web and elsewhere. In lieu of a printed schedule, if you read three chapters of the OT and one chapter of the NT per day, you can read the Bible through within a year. Or you may find it preferable to take two years. Either way, I would start by reading the Bible through. Of course, you can begin reading the Bible in any edition you choose. I would just like to mention a helpful book and two related websites designed to facilitate the reading of the Bible in one year. The title of the book is The One Year Bible. For more information visit one or both of these websites: www.oneyearbibleonline.com or www.oneyearbibleblog.com Where to begin? 'For a basic introduction to Christ and Christianity read: 'Mark, John, Acts and Romans. 'To get an overview of the Bible read these books in this order: 'Genesis, Exodus (chapters 1-20), Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Ezra, Nehemia, Esther, Mark and Acts.' (Quick Start: Reader's Guide to God's Word, GOD'S WORD Version, World Publishing, 1995) The more specific the question, the more specific the answer is likely to be. When you ask "How does one read the Bible?", it is difficult to know exactly what you have in mind. Are you asking where does one start, how should one interpret the Bible, which translation is recommended, or what? If you have further questions or desire help in any way many of us on the Forum would be happy to provide more information. Grace and peace, John |

Thank-you for your replies and suggestions, John, much appreciated. BTW.....I did write a long question to be more specific but I kept getting a thing come up on my screen telling me to shorten my question to 40 words or less????? Anyway, I was wanting to know which way was the best way to read the whole Bible, if one has never read it before and I did get the answers I was looking for, so again thanks a bunch. Mouse |
