Chronological Bible, one year reading plan

Following Morris' post on how to Simulate a Chronological Bible, I thought it might be useful to have a proper Chronological Bible in Logos.

So here's a Personal Book that uses dynamic text give you your very own chronological Bible in your favourite Bible version. If you compile it has a Bible Harmony you'll even have a dropdown menu that will allow you to change the version whenever you like.

There are two versions, one with dates so you can use it for daily readings, and one without

Very cool Mark.

Thanks!

That is excellent Mark. Thanks.

James Taylor

Thank you so much! I literally just considered making this last night, and then I saw this on the forum. What a blessing! I wouldn't have thought to build as a harmony to allow for changing translations. Smart guy!

Grace and Peace be yours in abundance!

Mark, once again I greatly appreciate this resource, however I have one small hang up. I intended on using this as an audio bible, and when I command logos to read aloud, it only reads the Chapter headings you have created ie. "gen 1-3" etc. It does not read the Bible text at all. Is there something I can do to the docx.as a work-around for this? I obviously do not expect you to update the file just for me, but I'm not sure how to correct it on my own. Any help is a blessing.

Thank you for all your service on the forums!

This is a limitation of the Read Aloud feature, which doesn't read dynamic text. You could suggest that Logos change it, but there's no guarantee that they would.

There's no easy way of fixing this on your own, other than using the Copy Bible Verses Tool to copy and paste the bible text into the Word document.

Thanks Mark, I will try just making a PDF and then PDF reader should read it aloud, I hadn't thought of any other software reading it except logos.

This is great! Tx Mark.

I have created the plan in the desktop app, but for some reason it is not pulling through as an option on my iPad. Any idea why?

Hi Paul

I have created the plan in the desktop app, but for some reason it is not pulling through as an option on my iPad. Any idea why?

Mark's plan uses a Personal Book and these are not currently available on mobile devices.

What is the source for the Chronological placement of the NT writings in correlation to the Book of Acts?

How do you compile the book as a bible harmony?

How do you compile the book as a bible harmony?

When entering the details of the personal book, Bible Harmony is an option on the Type dropdown. Just change it from Monograph to Bible Harmony.

HI Mark, is there any way I can add this plan to logos mobile free ? Thanks

Unfortunately this only works on desktop Logos, not mobile.

Hello,

I've built another Chronological Bible as Personal Book.
This one is based on the NLT One Year Chronological Bible Reading Plan.

Enjoy !

Thank your for your contribution. I installed it and it appears to work well. I have Logos Pro Early Edition, 36.1 and it does not have a "harmony" option, but your bible selection option works with monograph.

Can this be synchronized with a commentary? I would love to have my commentary synched to it.

Shabbat Shalom

Hello ! Yes, it is possible to sync the Chronological Bible Personal Book with a commentary. Due to the limitations of the dynamic Bible text used, it is not possible to sync at verse level, but only at passage level. In my experience, the approach I've taken is to leave the Chronological Bible unlinked, but open in parallel my preferred Bibles and commentaries all synched together. I've also set my default commentary as target of Bible references links (you can set link "A" on all Bible texts and commentaries except for the Chronological Bible itself, and set "Send hyperlinks here" to your main commentary).

When reading through the Chronological Bible, I click on the passage header like Ezekiel 47:1-48:35, and this will sync my Bibles and commentaries to the beginning of this passage. I can then scroll independently between the Chronological Bible and commentaries, but they are never far away from each other.

As the Chronological Bible dynamic text in Logos does not allow reverse interlinear and other related analysis of the Bible text, I switch to my preferred translation to perform additional analysis of the Bible text.

With this setup, saved as a named Logos layout that I can easily recall, I'm happily progressing through my chronological reading of the Bible, and can deepen the study of a passage as I see fit.

I hope this helps ! Be encouraged !

Shabbat Shalom !
