The time it takes to read the Bible depends on how fast you read and how you approach it. Here's a breakdown:
* **Straight Through:** If you read at an average pace (around 200 words per minute) and nonstop, it would take about 67 hours to get through the whole Bible. That's nearly 3 days of continuous reading!
* **Daily Engagement:** Most people find it more meaningful to read the Bible in smaller chunks each day. With a daily commitment of 15 minutes, you could get through the entire Bible in a year.
* **Focus Areas:** The Bible is a collection of many different writings. You could choose to focus on specific sections like the Gospels (around 10 hours) or the books of Prophets (around 15 hours).
There are also many Bible reading plans available that offer daily passages for a year-long journey.
Remember, the goal isn't necessarily speed, but understanding and reflection.
