If you flip open to the table of contents on your copy of the Bible, you may not realize at first that the listing there isn’t exactly “chronological”. Sure, it starts with Genesis (the beginning) and ends with Revelation (the end), but it goes through a couple loop-de-loops in between. 
Theses loops have to do with how the books are ordered, which many times is by size (length of text) and not by date. In fact, if it were by date, it is likely that the New Testament would open up with 1 Corinthians, not Matthew. Sometimes that’s a difficult thing to wrap your head around as you’re trying to read the Bible. So to solve that problem, people have created “Chronological Reading Plans” that seek to make the order of events a little clearer. One of the better “chronological plans” is hosted at “Back to the Bible”, linked here: https://www.backtothebible.org/chronological-reading-plan
If you browse around the plan you’ll notice that it even breaks up in the middle of books – i.e. Genesis gets broken up by putting Job right after Genesis 11. So if you’re looking for a plan that helps you to make sense of that chronology and maybe adds some insights because of that, this may be your plan. It also comes with the addition of several things that make the plan easy to use. In brief:
- Goes through the entire Bible in a year? Yes.
- Number of readings per day? One. (several chapters)
- Readings mixed from Old and New Testaments? No. It obviously runs from Old to New Testament.
- Average length of readings – 3-5 chapters (per day), about 20 minutes of reading out loud to read a normal day’s readings.
- Number of days per week in plan – Seven.
- Available smartphone app? Back to the Bible uses the goTandem app for all of their plans, and this is one of them.
- Available explanations/devotions/prayers? Not for this plan, but other plans have them.
- Available reminders? Yes. You can sign up for email reminders or use the goTandem app.
So if you would like to make sense of the time of the Bible and can afford a little more time reading, the Chronological Reading Plan from Back to the Bible might be for you.
