📖 Chronological Bible Reading Plan
Read the Bible in the order the events actually happened.
If you've ever wondered how the Bible's events fit together, this Chronological Reading Plan is for you. Instead of reading Scripture in the order the books appear, this plan guides you through the Bible in the order the events occurred, helping you grasp the unfolding of God’s story across time.
✨ Why This Plan Is a Great Fit
- 📚 2–4 Chapters Daily – Around 15 minutes per day
- 📅 7 Days a Week – Stay in God’s Word daily
- 🕰️ Chronological Flow – Follow the Bible’s historical timeline
- 🧩 Big-Picture Clarity – See how events and prophets connect across books
“Reading the Bible chronologically helped me understand how it all fits together. It felt like watching God’s story unfold in real time.”
— Steve M., Florida
📖 How the Plan Works
This is a daily reading plan that walks you through the entire Bible over the course of a year—in historical sequence. You’ll read 2 to 4 chapters per day, seven days a week, from Genesis to Revelation—rearranged into the approximate order the events took place.
Expect to:
- Read parallel passages together (e.g., Kings and Chronicles)
- Encounter psalms within David’s life story
- Follow the timeline of the prophets alongside the kings
- See the Gospels side by side during Jesus’ ministry
This approach deepens your understanding of context, connections, and continuity in Scripture.
