One of my goals for 2009 is to read through the Bible and the ESV Study Bible notes using the ESV Study Bible Reading Plan.
Another goal is to read through all of the Articles and Introductions to the books found in the ESV Study Bible. However, I knew this wouldn't happen without a plan.
So, I wrote up a Reading Plan for Articles and Introductions in the ESV Study Bible.
I tried to have the introduction for a book of the Bible fall on the first day of reading in the plan. (If a book is read twice in the plan, the introduction appears twice.) Other wise, I mainly clumped articles by topic and tried to space them out throughout the year. I put the articles "A Survey of the History of Salvation" and "God's Plan for Salvation" in quarterly, since those are good to review as we read through Scripture.
There are generous gaps in the plan to allow for "catch-up" in reading. December is almost blank to allow for busy Christmas schedules and end-of-the-year catch-up.
You can download the reading guide here.
What are you waiting for!? It's January 2...you're already behind!

What a great idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI laughed for joy when I read your post. You see, I am reading the ESV Study Bible this year and have already skipped reading some of the resource notes. This is great! Thank you for providing this encouraging plan!
ReplyDeleteA great help! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI can't get the link (http://northbrookbc.org/files/ESVSBArticleReadingPlan.pdf) to open.
ReplyDeleteIt worked for me just now. I'd suggest keep trying.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't get it, send me an email and I'll email you the PDF.
I saw your schedule on B2W. I just wanted to thank you for sharing this.
