Bible 360

+JMJ

In 2023 I’m going to try reading the Bible following The {Catholic} Bible in 360 Challenge (the actual plan and check sheet is here). I like this plan because

• it divides the Bible into three sections, Old Testament, Wisdom¹, and New Testament, with a reading from each section each day, similar to the pattern of Bible readings in the Mass,
• all of the books are read through completely in order,
• the readings begin with Genesis, Job, and Matthew, respectively the first book of the Old Testament, the oldest of the Wisdom books, and the first book of the New Testament,
• the plan is divided by numbered days instead of dates so the plan can be started any time.

I’ll be reading the Project Gutenberg edition of the Douay-Rheims Bible on my Kindle.
