I'd like to incorporate a reading schedule of the Apocrypha along with my Hebrew and NT Scriptures. I have a question or two before I do that.

1. Is there a chronology of the Apocrypha? What book was the first written: what was last written? 

2. My reading of the Bible is every four/4 months I read thru its entirety, both in the original and English, but now I want to begin inserting the OT Apoc.

3. Does anyone have a or can anyone suggest a reading plan that fits what I want to do?

mm.

    Funny thing - I was just working on a Read the Entire Bible reading plan that covers "everything" considered scripture by some Judeo-Christian group. There is too much variation in estimates of the dates of works - especially since many are composite documents with parts that were written at different times. I'll look for something that is close to your time schedule ... those I know off the top of my head are longer.

    If you read 3 days each day does this meet your needs? https://prescottorthodox.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/bible-reading-card-2012-63.pdf

    Well as they say, '"great minds....'" However, I think your mind is a tad, no a super-tad above a simple milkmans';)

    ya whatever you can give me that would be awesome!

    yes, that's perfect! I'll retype the Apocryphal portion and put that along side of my ot/nt readings inside the flap of my bible.
