The Bible with Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, Express Version, 2025

The Bible tells one big story of redemption. But have you ever thought about what order the events in Scripture occurred? As we read the Bible we quickly notice that the books are grouped by genre, such as law, historical narrative, poetry, wisdom literature, and prophecy. But the events of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther actually occurred at the end of the Old Testament period. And some of the minor prophets prophesied before, during, or after the major prophets. By taking the time to study Scripture as the events unfolded, our knowledge and appreciation for God’s great plan of redemption throughout history deepens. This chronological plan walks through a few chapters a day to help you read through the entire Bible in one year as the events occurred. This plan corresponds with A Year in the Bible With Daily Grace podcast, where we explore how each chapter and event within the Bible points to Jesus, where it fits into the story of Scripture, and how God’s Word impacts us. We are so excited for you to join us on this journey!

The One Year® Chronological Bible 

It is important to understand the fullness of God’s message to the churches, and a great way of doing this is reading the Old and New Testaments simultaneously. This plan, which can be completed in one calendar year, does just that. Readings from both Testaments are included from the beginning and although each reading does not contain both Testaments, the two are read effectively.

Old Testament and New Testament

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to read the Old Testament in ancient Israel? Or, the New Testament as the books were written? In this plan, the order of the Old Testament readings is very similar to Israel’s Hebrew Bible, progressing from Law to Prophets to Writings. The New Testament ordering is based upon research regarding the order in which the books were authored. Although this research is not conclusive, it may offer helpful insights to your Bible reading.

Historical

The Blue Letter Bible “Chronological” plan is compiled according to recent historical research, taking into account the order in which the recorded events actually occurred. This is a fantastic plan to follow if you wish to add historical context to your reading of the Bible. If the schedule provided is followed, the entire Bible will be read in one calendar year.

Chronological

The Blue Letter Bible “Canonical” plan goes straight through the Bible — from Genesis to Revelation. You will be supplied with reading for each day of the week as a steady guide toward finishing the entire Bible in one calendar year.

Canonical

Robust and systematic, Roberts plan guides you through a complete reading of the Old Testament and two complete readings of the New Testament. Readings average four chapters in length and include both Old and New Testament passages each day.

Created by Dr. George Guthrie, this plan takes the material of the Bible and organizes it to flow in chronological order. Since exact dating of some materials or events is not possible, the chronology simply represents an attempt to give you the reader the general flow and development of the Bible's grand story. Some passages are placed according to topic (e.g., John 1:1-3 in Week 1, Day 2; and many of the psalms). There are six readings for each week to give you space for catching up when needed.
