There truly isn't one correct way of reading the Bible. Many however, would say start in the beginning book of Genesis and read to the end book of Revelation. Others would say read the Old/New Testaments only. Still others have a chronological Bible tool to read. Those who which to study particular prophets/writings will select these first and then read supporting writings/books of the Bible. And those who wish to study the Bible will chose a topic and read all associated verses where ever they are.

Two important rules when reading the Scripture after praying for understanding is to read a passage in its full context before moving on and two, allow the Bible to define or explain itself by reading all associated Scripture for a particular subject. Then biblical tools like dictionaries, maps, and commentaries are quite useful to add to ones understand.

There is no correct order in which to read the Bible, but perhaps the worst way to read it is to start at Genesis and try to work through, book by book, to Revelation. If you are already familiar with the Christian message, you can profitably choose almost any book to start reading.

One thing to bear in mind is that most of the books were written to be read as a whole, with Psalms as an obvious exception, probably also Genesis. If, for example, you can read Mark's Gospel from beginning to end, you will understand the gospel more fully than if you read random verses selected for you. Later, you could choose to go back and read a short passage about a particular event, such as the trial of Jesus, if you wish to do so.


More serious Bible students could read the Books of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings in this order. Scholars know them collectively as the Deuteronomic History, and they were originally written as an integrated set. These students could then read 1 and 2 Chronicles, which is a much later history, developed in large part as a rewriting of the Deuteronomic History. Serious Bible students would also read Matthew and Lukealongside Mark and try to see what is often referred to as the synoptic problem. Once they understand the synoptic gospels as a whole, they would probably read John's Gospel.

As dates are difficult to authenticate, even in recent history, here is a link to the original order of the groups of writings in both testaments.

What books are taken out of the Bible?

The books that form what is now known as the Bible were not originally written in order to be included in a 'Bible'. They were simply written to meet the religious or political purposes of their times. When, later, the concept of a collection of books, a 'Bible', came to the fore, some books were included and some were not.Until the first Bibles were compiled, there were no books in the Bible, to be taken out. It was merely a case of which of the many hundreds of potentially suitable books would be included, and which would not.Having said that, the Catholic Church included, and still includes, 15 'Deuterocanonical' books in its Old Testament. These were not included in the Hebrew Bible and, on the precedent of the Hebrew Bible, are not included in the Protestant Bible. Even the Catholic Church regards the Deuterocanonical books as not inspired in the same way as the canonical books are.
