Through the Bible Reading Plan

This is a 6-year reading plan for students that goes through the Old Testament in Years 6-11, and adds the New Testament alongside the OT in Years 7-11. (Year 6 continues the gospel in harmony from years 2-6). The books were arranged in chronological order (using Frank DeRemer's "one-year parallel chronological bible" as a guide to arranging Bible Books in order, and then using word counts to divide it into years) but this isn't an exact chronological reading plan, as books of the Bible weren't broken up to splice individual verses where they belong chronologically. Books were kept whole.

The Song of Solomon and Revelation, which should be done with a good study guide, are not included in this schedule; they will be done in Year 12 (when students will be encouraged to read through the entire Bible in a year). Psalms and Proverbs are scheduled so that Psalms are done twice (in years 6-8, and 9-11) and Proverbs are read through three times (in years 6/7, 8/9, and 10/11).

You may have students read alone for private devotional reading, or use this schedule as part of a family devotional time. Each week's reading can be broken up in whatever way works best for you and your students. The schedule goes along slowly enough to follow along with your favorite study guide or commentary if you wish to study as you read. There are 216 readings spread over 6 years, although you are welcome to use them any way you wish.

Exam questions are based on AO's weekly scheduled readings, so if you use the schedule differently, you will need to adjust exam questions accordingly.
