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.

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. This plan brings a lot of popular plan features together into one package. The only thing that it could be missing is having the NT being in an order that correlates with the OT reading.

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.

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).

The Redemptive-Historical Plan is not a traditional Bible reading plan, but more of Bible reading study that takes you through events in Biblical history and then ties New Testament passages to these event. Its not broken up into days, but just has checkboxes so you can mark off as you go. If you want to study through how the Old Testament events have been fulfilled in the New Testament without reading through the whole Bible this plan may be for you. There are lots of great connection and its a good way to quickly get a larger picture of the Bible and see how it all connects.
