90-Day Whole-Bible Reading Plan

Version 1.0, 1/1/2010

It’s the start of a new year, and you may be thinking about reading through the Bible. If you’d like a more vigorous reading plan than usual, try this one. It’ll take you through the whole Bible in 90 days. If you want to do a “quick” overview study of the Bible, this is one way to make your way through it. If you are creating a long Bible-related work, such as a commentary, this list may also be suitable for dividing your work into more manageable volumes.

Each day’s reading is not of equal length. I tried to avoid ending a day’s reading in the middle of a narrative or discourse or starting it in the middle of one book and ending in the middle of another, which meant stretching some readings and shrinking others. I also used whole chapters throughout the plan so it could easily be used with audio Bibles, which are often divided by chapter. The days cover about 5,000 to 10,000 words each, with most in the 7,000- to 8,000-word range. For most people 5,000 to 10,000 words translates into about 30 minutes to an hour of reading.
