This plan merges the best features that I have found throughout different reading plans plus some that I have always wished for in a New Testament reading plan.
This plan: 1. Focuses on the New Testament. Please, consider following a parallel plan to go through the Old Testament at the same time. I recommend doing it in 1 year and, if possible, in chronological order. 2. Uses repetition as to help the reader follow the argument of the book and aid with memorization and comprehension. Therefore, each passage is read 10 times in a row, making the 73 sections fit in a complete 730-day cycle (2 years). 3. Divides longer books comprehensively following outlines found in Study Bibles and commentaries. (Most of them taken from John Macarthur's Study Bible). 4. Sets out readings of whole books (or at least big sections of them) without investing more than 30 minutes a day. The only exception is Luke 19:28-24:53 which takes around 38 minutes. I decided to leave this passage longer as to give priority to Goal #3. 5. Disperses the gospels throughout the year. 6. Schedules the shorter books that can be read under 10 minutes (namely 2 John, 3 John, Philemon, Jude, 2 Thessalonians, and Titus) just after longer readings to give the reader a break. See for instance, how after reading Luke 19:28-24:53, Philemon follows. 7. Avoids having more than one book in a reading, to help the reader avoid confusing the content of a book (See Goal #2).
With all of this, you will be reading an average of 15 minutes a day for 2 years.
Note: You can also follow this plan by reading every section 5 times in a row: Comprehensive NT 5x in 1 year, 15 times in a row: Comprehensive NT 15x in 3 years, 20 times in a row: Comprehensive NT 20x in 4 years, 25 times in a row: Comprehensive NT 25x in 5 years, 30 times in a row: Comprehensive NT 30x in 6 years.
