Capitalism & Glitter Bible in a Year Study Plan

We will be reading in roughly chronological order, one book at a time, except where it makes sense to jump back and forth between books. We are also reading one Psalm or a section of a Proverb each day, as these offer daily prayer/songs/wisdom to support us as we seek full understanding of this historical and religious text.

I strongly encourage you to pray for understanding and discernment as we go through each text.

The plan I put together includes all the books of the Catholic and most of the books of the Orthodox Bible, with “Messianic checkpoints” reading one of the gospels each quarter so it doesn’t take us a year to get to Jesus, which also allows us to see how Jesus was foretold and foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. It also includes the books of Enoch and Jubilees because they give more information on what happened in the early world time period which can both answer questions that aren’t articulated within Scripture and help us make sense of the entire Biblical story (more on these two books in the next post).

The structure and schedule of this plan is inspired by the Great Adventure Bible and accompanying podcast by Father Mike Schmitz (the “Messianic checkpoints” and readings of one Psalm or Proverb a day follow the days of his plan almost exactly). It also roughly aligns with much of the Stranger Theology Bible in a Year study plan — so if you are concurrently participating in either of those Bible studies, or listening to those podcasts, we will be covering a lot of the material at similar times and you can deepen your understanding with further analysis from those theologians.

I will be posting the upcoming readings every Sunday, with the exception of this week as we are starting on Thursday, January 1 (I will send out the readings and begin the chat on Wednesday). I will share some of my thoughts and questions on the upcoming week’s readings, which we can discuss via comments on the post and conversations in the chat.

I have yet to decide if and how I want to do zooms or lives to have further discussions with you all on specific topics — if you have ideas let me know in the comments or in the chat! This has been a quickly evolving project and I greatly appreciate all your support.

I look forward to reading the Bible with you!

And also with you.
