If you are looking for Bible reading plans this is one is hard not to come across. M’Cheyne lived in the 1800’s and his reading plan has far outlived his short 29 years on the earth.  It was greatly popularized by D.A. Carson the founder of the Gospel Coalition who has written companion books to go along with this reading plan.  This Bible reading plan has two sets of readings for each day taking people through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the Old Testament once.  Many times, the days reading might be from 4 different spots in the Bible and they often create connects between parallel passages.  The only complaint that people tend to have doing this plan is if their time is tight, they often can’t do all the reading in one sitting and still have time to think about what they read.  If you have time and like to read, this plan will give a good walk back and forth through the Bible each year.

Have you ever tried to read straight through the Bible and ended up stopping because it got hard to read the genealogies for days or prophecies against the nations around Israel?  Well, this plan might be great for you.  It is a one-year plan that breaks the Bible into several different Genres: Epistles, The Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, and Gospels.  Each day of the week you read a different Genre.  The method reading gives a lot of variety each week but it might not be for everyone.  Since you are only reading a particular book of the Bible 1 day a week it takes 8 weeks to get through 1 Corinthians.  This could make it difficult for some to follow the flow of Paul’s letter.  However, for those who like variety and are good at tracking from week to week where they left off this reading plan could be a perfect fit.

Sometimes it’s nice to have some breathing room while doing a Bible reading schedule. It’s easy to have something come up in a week that makes you miss a day. Especially when you have small children. This plan has 5 days of reading for each week. The readings typically consist of an Old Testament text and a New Testament text. The OT reading is basically set in Chronological order and the NT reading is designed to spread the gospels out over the year. They have a convenient PDF that you can print off for free and a companion guide that you can purchase. Each year it gets updated to follow the new year’s dates.

Each year Craig puts together a new thematic Bible reading plan.  His goal is to make as many scriptural associations as possible while keeping individual books of the Bible intact.  The only thing broken up is the Psalms. The result is a masterful weaving together of NT and OT reading that allows you to see the Bible in a whole new way.  Since the books of the Bible are intact it makes it so that not every day can have a cross-reference, however, it is estimated that he still manages to get over 100 connections through the course of a year.  The biggest challenge with this plan is it might be harder to find this year’s version of it.  If you can’t find a link to the current year’s PDF here, then you will need to try to email Craig.  His email address is usually on old versions of his plan.

This unique plan put the Old Testament in Chronological order and then breaks up the New Testament books according to themes in the Old Testament and connects them to the OT daily reading.  The result is that you are reading New Testament and Old Testament passages every day.  This plan is a six day a week plan, so you have one day to catch up each week if you get behind.  The only big disadvantage to this plan is how the NT gets all broken up.  Many books of the Bible get scattered throughout the year making it impossible to capture the flow of the New Testament books.  Even though this plan might not be for everyone, it does offer a truly unique experience reading through the Old Testament show very deeply how the New Testament fulfills it.

When you hear Chronological Bible Reading plan you might think at first that they are all the same.  But this is far from the truth.  Some Chronological plans are made based on the order the books were written (Also known as Historical Bible Reading Plans).  Other plans are ordered based on when events occurred. Still other chronological plans are hybrids that combine multiple different kinds of plans together.  So what is the big deal about chronological and should you try one of these plans.  If you have never read the Bible chronologically, it is worth it.  Few things can help you understand how the Bible all fits together more than reading it chronologically.  Reading prophesies in the context of the history which they are written grants a better understanding into what they are communicating.  Likewise, reading Psalms in the context of who wrote them can give you much more understanding into the experience of the Psalmist while they wrote.  The only real downside to some chronological Bible reading plans is that they can break books of the Bible into such small parts that you might lose flow of a particular book (this varies with different chronological plans).

Don’t want to commit to a long-term Bible reading plan, but just want to capture an overview of the Bible.  These reading plans can be a good place to start.  They capture key verses or chapters from the Bible and allow you to get a flavor of what is in the Bible.  This form of reading has it pros and cons.  If you have never read the Bible before this might be a good approach to getting an broad tour of the Bible in a relatively short time period.  However, this type of reading can also lead to taking passages out of context and prevent readers from catching what the Biblical writes were trying to communicate.  Anyone who has not read the Bible before should consider doing these short plans with a seasoned Christian who has read the Bible several times.  If you do want to try something shorter, it might be good to pick a shorter book from the Bible and read it.
