Read the Whole Bible in 15 Minutes
Three hundred seventy-five people can read these scripture references
aloud in 15 minutes. Each person can read one of the references in fifteen
minutes while reading approximately 2,205 words at 147 words a minute. The
final readings in both the Old and New Testaments are shorter than the others.
Print off the scripture sheets and copy them onto labels sheets, then
pass them out to each of the readers who will then select (peel off) a reading.
Suggestions for use:
- Use the same translation for all readers. (This
is not absolutely necessary, but it will give the even consistency.) The
divisions for the readings come from the King James Version, but the references
will work with any translation.
- If your assembly is large enough, divide it up
into small groups and let one person read to the others in the group. You
can even pass the single reading around so that everyone gets an opportunity
to read.
- If your Church or group is too small to do the
entire Bible you can choose to read only the New Testament with 86 readers.
- If you want to read the entire Bible but your
group is too small, then read for 30 minutes and give two readings to each
person. It takes 188 people to read the entire Bible in 30 minutes.
You can choose to read for an entire hour by giving
four readings to a person. It takes 94 people to read the entire Bible in
one hour.
