Tides and Covenants: An Almanac for Reading Through Scripture

This three-year Bible reading plan will take the reader through a third of the Old Testament, all of the New Testament and the Psalms twice each year. The yearly

divisions of the Old Testament readings follow the breakdown of redemptive history given in Matt. 1:17 (Abraham to David, David to the Exile, and the Exile to

Christ). A chapter from the Old Testament, New Testament and Psalms is scheduled daily Monday through Saturdays, with the Lord’s Day reserved for special

readings or readings from the Westminster Standards. The readings are seasonally aligned around the Advent (November-January), the Wilderness (February-

March), Passion Week (in March or April), the Covenant (April-May), and the Kingdom (June-November).
