Reading the Bible in Chronological Order (in 1 year.)

     `Welcome to a journey, a trip through the most famous and well-read book of all - The Bible.  You have opted to follow a chronological order, which is worked out in date order, as they were written.  Whilst this list isn't guaranteed to be exact, many theologians have agreed on this order.  Read the events of the Bible as they occurred chronologically.  For example, the Book of Job is integrated with Genesis because Job lived before Abraham.` or Read the Bible in Chronological Order in 2 Years.
