Yesterday I mentioned a guy who had a bible reading plan. It was to read one verse a day. It seemed like a pretty good thing to me that the guy had a plan and was working it.
I was curious enough about it to run a couple of numbers to see how long it would take to get through the bible by reading at that rate.
There are more than 31,000 verses in the bible, so I calculated that at 365 verses per year it would take a little over 85 years to read through the whole book, one verse per day. So if I did want to read the whole bible I would have to start when I was young – probably no older than ten – and I would hope that medical and health technologies advanced rapidly enough that I lived ninety-five years. At which point I would get to Revelation 22.
