Suggestions for studying Scripture
Q: I would like to study the Bible from front to back. Where do I start? And any suggested specific Bible, apps, ect to help me.
I believe if I study the Bible from start to finish I will understand more and questions will be answered.
A: Yes, that's true. Both by personal reading and as you learn at church in Sunday School and by sermons there. You have community to answer questions.
While Cover to cover is best, to start you can do a "mini read" first, to get toes wet.
Read Genesis 1-11, Romans, then Gospel of John, Ephesians, Galatians, & Colossians. Then, read the Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John.
This has good resources and suggestions on getting the most out of those readings with study suggestions. ⭐️
It offers summaries, answers to questions along the way and gives guidance as you go. Imo it would be good to pair reading *with* an audio Bible, like a dramatized one. The best produced one is the kjv one (from the 50s made for the blind), and is linked there. If anything you could at least listen to that version at other times of the day when not doing dedicated Bible reading. It really can add an extra layer of richness and excitement to your experience. ✨️
You could do a first read through with a audio Bible, then get a solid reputible Study Bible to help as you go & to refer back to easily. It also has a dramatized or audio version to pair with it. Bible recommendations and a free app related study Bible are linked there too, to help whether home or on the go.
Don't be overwhelmed by suggestions. Just think about it, and go with what you feel is a good plan, as God will be guiding you towards what is best for you.
God bless
