How many have actually read the Bible?

I read it as a non-believer. It was another 15 years before I became a Christian.

I'm drawn mostly to the Psalms, I haven't read the Bible all the way through. I tried once and gave up because I was reading it like I would a book, and not as it should be read. I also read my favorite parts of the NT, and would like to get a study Bible. I think that would focus me more.

I've been reading for over a year daily (off and on).
I plan to read it in spanish as soon as I'm done.

If you want to go beyond reading the bible and digging into the word, you may want to consider the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) by YWAM. Its a 9 months school and they read through the entire bible at least 5 times to observe, interpret and apply the word.

Just curious.
And non-believers, this is for you too.

I've read the more interesting stuff. Ezekiel, Job. Genesis. A lot of Samuel, Exodus. Some of Isaiah, but it's hard going. Recently re-read Daniel and Revelation. Read the new testament several times.

Cover to cover like I'd read a book? Never. I've read books from start to finish in one go, usually Genesis, Exodus, the Gospels and Revelation.

Yes, I have read it through a few times now. I love to read the Bible

I read it as part of the curriculum at school. It's one of the reasons I don't have "Christian" listed as my religion here anymore.

I have read the Bible cover to cover. Interestingly I know many non believers, many of who are in my family, have also read the Bible cover to cover.

I do lots of reading, but the bible is the only book that I read over and over...it is the bread of life.

 

[tqpix]

Read all of the NT, but not all of the OT.

 

[nikkipompom]

just parts and pieces throughout the year

 

[Pòl]

I've read the NT several times, but i've only read bits of the OT.

I've read it cover-to-cover at least once. I'm sure the first time I read it, I couldn't fathom so many things and concepts. Just taking it nice and slow now. It's not actually the reading of the Bible that's important. It is understanding the Word of God that is much more important; at least in my eyes anyways. God bless.
