The Bible is full of beautiful messages and passages for you to explore, but just how long will it take you to absorb all of the Word from cover to cover? Don’t worry, we’ve done the math and have all of the answers for you. We’ll tell you how long on average it’ll take you to read the Bible in its entirety as well as break down reading times by each section and book. If reading the whole Bible is one of your goals for the year, we’ll also be sure to give you plenty of tips about how to start your journey and make a reading plan for yourself.
Things You Should Know
- It takes an average person about 67 hours and 18 minutes (a little less than 3 days of non-stop reading) to read the entire Bible at a speed of 200 words per minute.
- Start by reading the Gospels, then move on to the Epistles and Writings, and then read the book of Genesis to read the Bible in chronological order.
- Use a 1-year Bible that contains a reading plan to help you read the Bible a bit every day, or make your own plan by picking 2-3 chapters to read each day.
