Read the Bible in a Year

I’m approaching the halfway point in my project of reading the Bible in a year. I have many empty hours to fill during the night and day, so there’s no virtue in my being so far ahead. My reading isn’t thoughtful, isn’t lectio divina; it’s more scanning. I’m also reading the Jewish Study Bible as well. I like the Jewish viewpoint, somewhat new for me, although I delved deep in grad school into Hebrew. I like having a balance of OT, NT, psalm and proverb in each reading, although the lectionary is better which unites readings thematically, theologically. During the enforced isolation of snow days, I have missed meeting with intrepid Bible reading partners. I’m hoping we’ll resume both Tuesday and Thursday groups this week.
