You get a little bit of OT, NT, and Psalm/Proverbs each day. Also it's in chronological order.

I try to keep it simple these days. I have one place for the cover-to-cover reading, another section that I'm focusing (Is. 40-66 atm) to read a few times through separately, and every ones in a while doing some kind of research in whereever I feel like. I like to keep my own pace instead of follow a plan, that way I don't need to look up what's next.

Thanks. I've read the Bible once cover to cover, that's why I find it difficult just to dip so to speak into one part without any sort of context or reason.

I read at least ten chapters a day, each one coming from different general sections from the whole Bible.

I have them divided as follows:

The Law (the first five books)

The Histories (Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1&2 Kings, 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Chronicles, 1&2 Esdras, Nehemiah, Tobit, Judith, Esther, 1,2,3&4 Maccabees)

The Wisdom Books (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Wisdom of Solomon, Wisdom of Sirach)

The Psalms

The Prophets (Major and Minor)

The Gospels

The Acts of the Apostles

The Epistles of Saint Paul

The General Epistles (James, 1&2 Peter, 1,2&3 John, and Jude)

The Apocalypse of Saint John

Proverbs is awesome because it has 31 chapters, so you read one daily.

I read for 40 minutes on Sunday and Wednesday after finishing the bible (finally) this year. I used to do 40 minutes a day, but since finishing the bible I'm just going to relegate it to Sunday and Wednesday while I can focus on other books for now until the day comes where I should read from start to finish again.

Now I'm starting from the book of Job through the NT with a KJV bible.

>daily reading of scripture? Do you … theme/topic … according to Saints days … Or … random chapters?

Sequential, verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, book-by-book, testament-by-testament.

Usually a chapter, maybe two or three, plus a psalm or proverbs a day.

But the regimen is out of whack since I started a new job requiring 4hrs+ of travel each day.

>strange question … about daily reading of scripture?

How could that possibly be a strange question on this board?!

Office of Readings is great part of Liturgy of Hours, so nowadays I mainly read Scripture by this.

I am also reading Haydocks Bible in meantime since I already read all of Bible.

And somtimes I just roll d100 to read a random chapter.

I said strange because probably to most of you guys it is obvious how one does daily scripture reading while it isn't so obvious to myself as a relative newcomer.

As I'm new to the faith, grew up going to a Baptist Sunday school till 6 never went to church after that, I'm reading through the New Testament first. After that I'll probably read based of the Liturgy of the Hours or a schedule for reading the entirety of the Old Testament.
