As we begin a new year, many users ask questions about reading plans. There have been some changes made to this feature since last year. I thought I would share my new reading plan and some observations on how it applies to Logos. Feel free to share your own!
I wanted to focus on the NT this year, so I did not create a "through the Bible in a year" plan.
- I used "generate a reading plan" so that I could customize things, but not have to create individual readings for each day.
- The syntax I used for the readings was Mt-Jn, Mt-Jn | Acts, Acts | Rom-Rev, Rom-Rev . This plan has me read the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles through twice during the year. (Most) every day I will have a bit from those three selections. (Sometimes Acts is left out because there aren't enough readings)
- I chose "by Pericope" so that the readings would break more naturally. This will create longer or shorter readings, depending upon the pericopes for each reading.
- I chose "every weekday" because I inevitably miss a day and this allows me catch up time each week.
- I chose the CSB because it is still new to me. I will likely use the NASB 2020 next year.
- For the purpose of understanding the syntax, the "pipes" (i.e. "|") create the selections. By repeating each selection twice through the use of the commas, the plan is repeated during the year. A similar (but not equal) method would have been to create a six month plan and then to restart it. As it turns out, July 2nd has two readings from the first read through and two readings to start the second read through.
One last note: Since I am using an M1 MacBook Air, I have the iPad app installed. I did my first reading today and noticed that FL appears to include "verse of the day" artwork based upon my readings after I finished for the day.
