year behind but done! I ordered this Bible for my birthday this past summer in the hopes of studying Jeff Cavins' Great Adventure Bible Timeline study on my own.
Little did I know this fall, Fr, Mike Schmitz and sitelinkAscension Presents would announce their upcoming Bible in a Year podcast going over the bible study in its entirety.
episodes starting on January,.
The Great Adventure Bible Timeline Philosophy:
Identifies thenarrative books that tell the story of Scripture from beginning to end.
The remaining “supplemental books” of the Bible are then contextualized within the storyline of thenarrative books,
Divides the Bible intotime periods, identified by different colors, which serve as “chapters” in Salvation History,
I could not be any more excited for this to begin, I am also SUPER stoked to have my friend, sitelinkKaylee, join me! It's the freaking Word of God! What Jeff Cavins and the whole team did with this Bible is truly amazing.
It comes alive with the way they lay it out, A Catholic Bible That Also Teaches You How to Read it, Dont just read the words of the Bible, . . understand them.

UPDATE: Finished! Completed Acts, all the letters, and Revelation today, Totally recommend doing this podcast for anyone who wants to read the whole Bible and understand it in context and how various books relate to each other and get a Biblical world view.
It was an amazing journey, By far my favorite Bible! The format is very welcoming and the layout makes it simple to follow the Story of our Salvation in Jesus Christ.
The Bible Timeline chart is also pretty cool with connecting the Biblical events with the historical context of the respective time, government, and community of the secular events.
Good stuff! I Finished! I actually followed a podcast The Bible in a Year with Fr Mike from Asension Press, It was rough at times because the Bible can be dry, I was surprised that the alot of information in the books of the Bible are duplicated, I mostly learned why we do some of the things we do today stemed from thousands of years ago, I learned so much and look forward to another year of listening to the podacast again, Thank you Lord for giving me the consistency to follow through and helping me to understand your word, AMEN! The best book I've read and the one I'm most proud to have journeyed with throughout this entire year of! I encourage anyone to give The Bible in a Year with Fr Mike a chance.
What a great sense of accomplishment in finishing listening to the entire Bible!
Thank you, Father Mike Schmitz! I really don't want to rate and review the Bible seems silly to even put it on that level but I do want to note that this was with the Bible in a Year podcast with Fr.
Mike/Ascension. It was a great way to stay immersed with scripture throughout the year sometimes while doing something else at the same time: yes, Leviticus, I'm looking at you!.
I finished the Bible in a Year today, and all I could do is sob, God is so good. I ordered this bible the week after two other bibles had arrived, I picked up this bible because Fr, Mike Schmitz is doing The Bible In A Year Podcast starting in January, I am mostly an eBook guy, And if there had been an eBook edition, I would have picked it up, But there is something about holding this bible and knowing that people all over the world will be joining this Bible In A Year Podcast is moving.
I have read the Revised Standard Version previous, and also many other translations of the bible, But this one is very different, This one focuses on the story and breaks that story inkey periods of salvation history, Those periods are:
Early World
Patriarchs
Egypt amp Exodus
Desert Wanderings
Conquest amp Judges
Royal Kingdom
Divided Kingdom
Exile
Return
Maccabean Revolt or lost years
Messianic Fulfillment
The Church
Father Mike plans to work through this timeline and fit the other books in and around it.
I am excited to take part in that, And to be reading this version of the bible in this way, I have flipped through and read some of my favorite passages, Read the preface to the translation, and the introduction by Jeff Cavins,
I have a Religious Studies Degree with a focus on Roman Catholic Thought, I would have loved to have had this bible when I was a student, It would have been great for my personal reading and for academic research, It is well put together, Organized coherently. Good footnotes without being excessive,
This is a beautiful study bible, There are great notes and reference materials, And if you are looking for a new study bible, I can highly recommend this volume, I have owned many bibles over the lastish years, This is one of the best I have used for study,
I highly recommend this bible for personal or group reading, study, and to be challenged in your faith,
Read the review on my blog sitelinkBook s and More,
Note: This book is part of a series of reviews: sitelinkCatholic Reading Plan! Recommend Yes! I recommend using this specific Bible and simultaneously listening to the podcast, Ascension's "Bible in a Year" hosted by Fr.
Mike Schmitz, for anyone who wants to read the whole Bible, understand it in context, and learn how various books relate to each other.
My husband and I only listened to the Bible in a little over a year's time betweenwe elongated our journey because life happens.
If I had to do it again which we both said we are game for, we would sit down and read while we listen to Fr.
Mike. There was so much information, that it felt like somedays it went in one ear and out the other, Still, we got a biblical world view and understand a whole lot more about the Bible, The goal was not to become biblical scholars but simply to become better versed in scripture, Reading the Bible was something on a bucket list that I thought may not have happened, and now I can say I've done it.
Pretty amazing!.
