Dr. Nathan Parker Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Is there a Bible in a Year Plan in Accordance? I currently read my Bible in a Year plans in another Bible app. I’d like to move that into Accordance. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hi @Nathan Parker, I admit I am not a "Bible in a Year" type person, so I don't know how helpful this is, but I think there are a couple resources like that in Accordance. The one coming to mind is https://accordancebible.com/product/butler-daily-readings-collection-of-four-4-works/ There is also this "Chronological Readings" by Lisa Lang, I know it exists since I have it, but I can't find it on the website. I noticed the Accordance Exchange also seems to have some stuff about this, so maybe I got it there? I don't know. https://www.accordancefiles1.com/exchange/tools.htm I hope this helps, Kristin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Wing Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 @Nathan Parker I've seen a number of plans in various software and also printed calendars but sometimes I wanted to focus on, as an example, the New Testament and plan on 3 mo, 6 mo, or whatever I want. Those plans don't allow for much customization. I ended up creating an Excel sheet that offers more flexibility. It's not difficult to do so you may want to look into that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanHuber Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Yes, several of the study bibles have reading plans: ESV, CSB, Reformation, Orthodox (this is a 2 year plan and includes the Apocrypha). I rather like the simplicity of the Reformation SB plan. There are also a couple of plans included with Accordance (Chronological, Devotional). Plus the lectionaries. Accordance doesn't have a good way to create custom plans, but yeah there are some options. You should be able to find these under the Devotionals category in the library. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On desktop, I think a User Tool works great for this (especially when accompanied a saved Workspace that has things set up just like you want them): Bible Readings Jan 1 Genesis 1 Psalm 1 Mark 1 Jan 2 Genesis 2 Psalm 2 Mark 2 Jan 3 … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Gilbert Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 My first read the Bible in a year plan was to divide the number of pages by 365. I started "In the beginning" and ended at, "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen," that is, I read it in order. The order is important, and the end is like the beginning: "The tree of life was on both sides of the river, bearing 12 kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations, and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His slaves will serve Him." (Rev. 22:2-3, HCSB).

Sacha Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) There is an IOS App called ‚ReadingPlan‘ which has a lot of different bible reading plans. You can open accordance with the bible of your choice. You can even have a different translation for AT and OT. And it synchronizes across devices.

Guest Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 And if you've ever wanted to read the entire Bible, including the books in the longer Old Testament, there's a two-year reading plan that comes with The Orthodox Study Bible that's pretty handy.

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Good to know. Thanks! How do you like that study Bible in general? I’ve thought about getting it. Also, have you read through any of Dake’s Study Bible? I thought Mark Allison worked for them years ago. I’m considering picking it up over Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

I’ve thought about getting it. If I had to pick a favorite study Bible, the OSB would be it. But I'm Orthodox, so... 🙂 It does have some really good articles and notes from an Eastern church perspective, which is going to be different from any Western study Bibles. And the OT translation of the LXX is the easiest to read of the three or so LXX English translations we carry. The notes are also going to be of interest to anyone into Patristics, especially of the Eastern/Greek-writing Church Fathers (although some Latin Fathers are quoted as well).

The Dake Bible was the first "Spirit-filled" study Bible, and has some historical value because of that. It also has some theological "idiosyncrasies" that people should be aware of. Dake was a literalist to a fault, and that methodology often took him to some strange places. He believed in the Gap Theory, which as a dispensationalist still allowed him to side with Old Earth creationists. I'd argue that his eschatological approach was his most significant contribution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thanks for the info on the study Bible, Mark! My main goal in picking it up is to compare his dispensationalism with Scofield, Ryrie, etc. Someone in my position should probably know about it. 🙂 Congrats on your new role at Lifeway! I’ll miss you at Accordance, but glad you’re still involved in digital ministry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
