Schedule of readings

Someone asked:

Is there a listing of the order of the readings? Is it straight through, chronological, some kind of mix?

These are good questions! Being "on the inside" we did not think to answer them till you asked ;)

Bible in a Year: The readings follow the traditional Protestant Canon roughly alternating an Old Testament book with a New Testament book. There are a few adjustments for the different number of books in each "half" of the Bible and because too many psalms or proverbs in a row might be "too much of a good thing" those books are split into sections. The order is the one used by this email service.

Chapter a Day: Here the order is much more complex, basically we are "doing" the books that have not yet been podcast, so that we will have the whole Bible available (we should finish this year :) though we are repeating the gospels, and to fit in with a Bible reading and discussing plan a friend is organising we may repeat some other books. Again we roughly alternate Old and New Testaments, and have split up the psalms into roughly two week "chunks".

Happy Christmas

It is Christmas Day, may you all encounter the God who chose to be born into a human family and lived among us, to die for us; and may the peace on earth that the angels sing about come nearer where you live in the coming year!

BTW now is a good time to start thinking about planning to listen to the whole Bible in 2009, just choose "Bible in a Year" above, or subscribe from this link. If you are on Facebook add PodBible, we hope in 2009 to start using it to get people "talking" about the readings...

Problems with Bible in a Year

An astute listener told us that the volunteer who had split up Ezekiel for Bible in a Year had misspelled his name, so several sections have been corrected, that is why days 332-336 have reappeared on the page and the RSS feed.

PodBible promo video: the quiet one

Doing a promo was stimulated by David's video, he reckons that I'm too frenetic, so here first is a quiet one ;)

Bible 60: Leviticus

Yes, by popular demand ;) one of the least read (by Christians anyway) Bible books now comes packaged in neat Bible 60 format - just download and write to CD, dub to cassette, for someone who finds reading difficult, or just get an hour at a time for listening in the car...
