Help Reading the Bible

This site is only intended to assist you in understanding the Bible. The best way to understand it is to read it!

However, it is a large book and sitting down to read it from cover to cover can be daunting. This pages provides some strategies to make it easier and more enjoyable.

Remember that the Bible is actually 66 books, most of which are broken up into many chapters. Although they are all important and are interconnected, some might be easier to start with or of more of interest to you. Refer here for a summary of what each of the different books are about if you want to get straight into a book of a particular kind.

Bible plans provide a structured approach that can help in different ways and are highly recommended for first time readers.

Some plans highlight key themes across the different books and can be as small as a single chapter per day like this one.

Others plans like this one break down all the chapters of the Bible so that if you stick to them, you can read the whole Bible in a year.
