Hello,

I am looking for a reading plan for the NRSV with the Deuterocanonicals in chronological order.

I looked on Documents>Reading Plans>Public and did not see anything that looked like what

I am looking for.

Thanks always for the help I receive in this forum.

    There are some Plans at https://wiki.logos.com/Reading_Plans but they don't include the Deuterocanonicals.

    Note that the NRSV has more than the Deuterocanonicals in the Western sense. It uses the ecumenical canon which includes everything in the Eastern Orthodox tradition including an additional entry for the Russian/Slavic Orthodox tradition. I have never seen a chonological reading plan designed for this canon.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    What would be really interesting would be a chronological reading plan based on best (scholarly) guess for substantial date of composition/final edit. Obviously it would involve a fair bit of segmentation of the existing canonical texts. It's a task well beyond my level of knowledge and expertise, but it would be so much fun to read in chronological order.

    Thank you for the link to the wiki. And no, it doesn't.[:(]

    MJ,

    Thanks for your response and the information concerning the books included in the NRSV collection. Did not realize this.

    I am being introduced to them by my wife, who is Costa Rican, and reads from the La Biblia Latinoamericano and the Dios Habla Hoy.

    I searched Google and also did not find much help.

    Sam,

    I agree. If I could contact David DaSilva and ask his opinion since he wrote a book on them and a Mobile Ed course, that might give us some insight on how to proceed.

    Reading in the chronological order would be a treat and I think very worthwhile.

    My exposure to the deuterocanonicals is new and what I have read so far, is very exciting.
