I finished my tenth read through the Old Testament since I started keeping track of my reading on February 9, 2006. In my first read through the bible, it took me almost 3¾ years because I was reading just a chapter a day. At my current rate, I am reading through the whole Bible a little under 2¾ times per year, enjoying it a lot more, and getting a lot more out of it. I have not yet decided to read through the New Testament three times or four times for each read through the Old Testament, but don’t have to decide that for a few months. The next time I read the New Testament, I think I am going to try to work my way through Robert Alter’s “The Hebrew Bible.”
