2025 BIBLE READING PLAN

"Blessed is the man whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

and on his law he meditates day and night."

– Psalm 1:2

Most Christians desire the great blessing of reading the whole Bible through every year, but saying is easier than doing. How many of us have begun on January 1 full of good intentions, and by February we have given up? There are many reasons why we fail, but we should not forget that we are all involved in high-stakes spiritual warfare. Satan does not want believers to regularly be listening to, and being transformed by, the living word of the living God. The Bible reading plans that follow are offered to you as an encouragement not to give up, but to try again. May it be a joy and a delight to you, and build you up in your most holy faith.

What's Special about These Plans?

1. Five Days Per Week or 25 Days Per Month

Unlike many reading plans, these are scheduled only 5 days per week or 25 days per month rather than seven. So, although each day’s readings are a little longer, it provides a way of catching up for those who fall behind in their readings. Or if you get ahead, you can take time out for a deeper study of some part of scripture without getting behind.

2. Redemptive-Historical Approach.

Instead of reading the Old Testament from beginning to end in the order in which the books appear in our Bibles, these readings are arranged in such a way that the reader can follow the unfolding story of God’s redemption of his people.

3. Chronological Order

The readings are arranged as much as possible in chronological order. For example, parallel readings in Kings and Chronicles are read alongside one another. The prophets are slotted into the reading of the historical books according to the time in history when the prophet was ministering (as far as we can determine). Some of the chapters in Jeremiah and Daniel are read out of biblical order so that they follow a more chronological order.

4. Gospel Quarter

Instead of reading all 4 gospels one after the other, each quarter includes one of the gospels, in the order they were most likely written: Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.

5. Psalms in Coordination

The Psalm readings are as much as possible chosen to resonate with either the Old Testament or the New Testament reading. The whole Psalter is covered, but some Psalms are read more than once during the year.

6. Irregular Length Readings

On some days the readings are longer than on other days. One of the free days of the week could be used to “catch up” or to break up longer readings.

7. Time of Day

Many people find that first thing in the morning is their best time for reading God’s Word. But that doesn’t work for everyone, or for every season of life. The more important thing is not when you read but that you read. Use lunchtime, break time, or bedtime depending on what works best for you. In any case, develop a consistent habit of reading God’s holy, inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word, so that it becomes part of the rhythm of your life, for the rest of your life.

8. Bible Project Bible Book Overviews

The Bible Project has developed short (usually less than 10 minutes) videos enabling you to “Visualize the shape and core themes of every book of the Bible through an illustrated outline.” You can also download a free poster for each book of the Bible for a more permanent reference.

25 Days / Months Bible Reading

Special Notes about this Plan:

One Year Bible Reading Program designed by Navigators Discipleship.

If reading through the entire Bible in one year looms as too large a task, you can alter the plan to meet your needs. For example, you could read the gospels and the wisdom books this year, and the other two categories next year.

Videos for Learning: Before you dive into a new book of the Bible, there is an overview video that outlines the structure of the book and its central themes. In addition to these overview videos, the plan also included many theme videos that explore topics found within each reading section. Follow the hyperlinks found in the readings for easy access to the videos.
Extra Reading Opportunities: The plan also works on a growing collection of articles, guides, and other resources to help you learn more about specific ideas introduced throughout the Bible. Hyperlinks to these resources are included throughout the plan to give you the option to dive deeper into a book or theme.
Overview Posters: Want to download or print a copy of each book’s overview? Overview posters are available here.
YouVersion Bible App: You should download this App on your phone to have an easier experience to work through this plan. The Bible App is completely free, with no advertising and no in-app purchases. Visit here.

5 Days / Weeks Bible Reading

Special Notes about this Plan:

One Year Bible Reading Program designed by Rev. O. Palmer Robertson.

The New Testament reading sections are arranged in the following order:

Quarter 1: Mark and early apostolic witnesses: Acts 1-12, James, Hebrews, 1 Peter, Acts 13-28. These books record the actions and writings of the apostles as the early church was first being established, initially with Jewish converts and then increasingly with believers from all the other nations. In coordination with Acts 1-12, James appears to have been written early in the life of the church, while Hebrews seems to have been written while the temple in Jerusalem was still standing (i.e. before AD 70 when the temple was destroyed). According to tradition, 1 Peter was written from Rome before his martyrdom in the AD 60s. Acts 13-28 provide the background for Paul’s early letters.
Quarter 2: Matthew and early Paul: 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Romans, Galatians, 1 & 2 Corinthians. These earliest of Paul’s letters lay out Christian doctrine and practice for the young church.
Quarter 3: Luke and middle Paul: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon (Prison Epistles). These letters were all written by the apostle Paul during a second imprisonment, most likely in Rome.
Quarter 4: John and later Paul: 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus (Pastoral Epistles) and concluding apostolic witnesses: 1, 2 & 3 John, 2 Peter, Jude, Revelation. 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus were written to provide directions for the governance of the church, with 2 Timothy composed near the end of Paul’s life and the close of the apostolic age. 2 Peter and Jude anticipate the last days before Christ’s return. 1, 2 and 3 John are letters to God’s people from the beloved disciple. The book of Revelation concludes the writings of the New Testament with messages to the churches and a series of visions illuminating the present age as well as the eternal age to come.
