Reading the Bible

St John's Bible Reading Plan

Click here to download a Bible reading scheme that enables you to read the whole Bible at your own pace. Depending on how much time you have, you can read the whole Old Testament in a year and the New Testament in six months. If you have less time, you can choose a more manageable pace. Just follow the instructions on the printable PDF.

Alternatively, simply return to this page every day and use the Bible Reading Plan box on the left (or below on our mobile site) to read or listen to each day's passage - just click the name of the passage to read or the little loudspeaker symbol to listen. It will update automatically each week.

carson loveofgodDA Carson has written an excellent two-volume companion to this Bible reading scheme, which is already used by several people in church. The daily notes are available free of charge on The Gospel Coalition website - click here for a direct link to the notes.

You can buy the books at various bookshops, in paper and ebook formats, including The Good Book Company and Amazon.

The St John's weekly notice email has the daily readings alongside each day of the diary section to help you follow the full St John's reading plan. Please contact the office to receive it weekly via email.
