Reading the Bible

Two Chapters & Five Psalms a Day:

Last week Professor Walter Deller gave an engaging talk on “How to Read the Bible”. His basic point is that we should, in fact, read the Bible! He suggested a simple process:

(1) Read one Old Testament chapter a day;

(2) Read five Psalms a day;

(3) Read one New Testament chapter a day.

The Old Testament would take 18 months to read in its entirety; the New Testament 8 months, and the psalms one month, after which one starts again.

I've started this (along with my dear friend Peter, for mutual accountability), and I invite you to join me. Send me an email at rector (at) stmarymagdalene.ca if you are “in”. And maybe we can meet as a group from time to time to compare notes.
