Bible study idea
- Thread starter Cadie
- Start date
It’s a lifetime goal.
Always learning more…always adding to your knowledge.
Always growing in the wisdom of God through the study of his Word.
My suggestion;
* Start smaller, perhaps a single Gospel.
* Don’t put a time limit on your study.
* Read your selected book in one sitting, and do it a couple of times. Become very acquainted with it.
* Maybe even select a few passages to memorize.
* Learn everything you can about it (Study Bibles often provide an helpful introduction).
* Begin to understand the flow of thought, what and how the author communicates God’s message.
* Later, look at the big picture. How do the various passages interrelate to form a coherent whole?

Any Calvary Chapel church teaches this way.

Personally, my goals for 2025, are to start reading the Bible all the way through using the Modern King James Version, and also to begin a very detailed verse-by-verse study of the Song of Solomon, using sermon series preached by the pastor of Grace Baptist Church of Ruston, Louisiana, where I attend worship, and by another pastor that I regularly listen to at Eager Avenue Grace Church in Albany, Georgia; along with a commentary entitled, Nymphas, by Joseph Irons, John Gill's commentary and Robert Hawker's commentary on the Song of Solomon, and perhaps a commentary on the the Song of Solomon by James Durham.
I hope to complete the Bible reading during the calendar year, but the Song of Solomon is a more ambitious goal and may take more than the twelve months of 2025.
That's what I do, privately. You, I, or anyone can read the Bible in a year using a One Year Bible. Or by reading four chapters per day.
For me, to study, it takes about year and a half.
My Sunday School class is going to read the Chronological Bible together this year.
How Long Does It Take to Read Each Book of the Bible? - TravisAgnew.org
Have you ever wondered how long it takes to read through each book? There are 66 books in the Bible. They vary in length. While the Bible is a big book, you can read it in book-sized pieces.

In the past in reading the Bible through in a calendar year, I have found that by reading on average about 15 minutes per day that I can finish it.
I think I read 82-83? Hrs
