ESV Study Bible Reading Plan, need help!

Daniel,

I was contemplating the same thing this week.  I think in this case due to the shortcoming you noted, that it might be one for the Logos techs to actually write and put into the program as an option. 

 

Yes, I think it is no way to do it the way we do for example the Chronological Reading. The ESV SB plan is excellent and I used it last year with many people in our church. It would be great Logos would do it the way M'Cheyne is done now in Beta.

EDIT: when they publish the ESV Study Bible (hopefully we will see it soon), they should have the rights to publish also the ESV SB Reading Plan.

any news on the esv study Bible reading plan?

Yes, it was just added a few days ago.  Go to the Documents -> Reading Plans -> ESV Study Bible Reading Plan (near the end of the list).

{emphasis added to occurrences of Acts 20:4-28}

In the above Beta 1.0, have already run into one snag when copying and pasting these works of other giants, but alas, as I've looked back on those reading plans, I cannot find where any of those giants left only "Acts 20:4-28" and so I must have excised the ending of the full expression "Acts 20-4-28:31" not realizing what I was doing, for this did not properly alert Logos that it was in fact speaking of reading through CHAPTER 28 instead of stopping at verse 28 of that same chapter!!!.  Thus, we'll run this again with the two erring references fixed.  Other than that, have made really good progress and the rest of this is working well. This will be:

"3 Year Chronological Mixed Bible Reading Plan--Beta v.2.0"

Also, I will note that it worked out to three years worth of manageable daily readings when set to 5 per week, and it is easy to get ahead on this plan  The Logos Reading Plan applet does an amazing job of breaking these up into manageable segments, giving heed to chapter breaks and if one section is particularly long for a day, it adjusts other readings each day accordingly.

As said, this plan seems to run extremely well--so far it has only needed this one adjustment, and if I back-date my computer and/or attempt to edit it over the previous plan already beginning Jan 1...  It has been inspired by things I've heard over the years about the reading ratios of others between the NT and OT, and I encourage others to try it and provide feedback.  Thank you!

I am unable to edit/revise/fix these or discuss them other than here, and I don't know how to message these individuals or discuss the needed changes at those pages, so someone else please assist with that.

They are now edited and fixed at the two sources.  Didn't see a place to discuss them or give comments on the edits, nor did I find the way to discuss them with the author, but he'll be glad they're fixed, I feel confident of that :-)

Anyone still playing with creating a custom Bible reading plan with specific passages for each day.[?] ... I put this in a custom reading plan and the smart Logos re-levels the daily lengths. Commas and semicolons down [don't(?)] work. Is there a way to do this in the Reading Plan dialog?

Greg, I think I understand your question, but not to leave you hanging, I've not seen a way to custom-set the daily lengths, have only played with my own very long 2-3 year plan.  Nevertheless, I'm still using an outdated version of both Windows and Logos, so there may be a way, but I happily depend upon "smart Logos" to set the daily lengths, since it does such a good job of getting them in bite-sized chunks.

Nevertheless, in my own Beta above, I must announce another change--and I see this one is correct on Morris Proctor's page, but I got mine from the "Chronological Order from ESV Study Bible Notes", and have corrected it at its source to match both Morris Proctor's and "A Chronological reading of the bible".  Previously it had readers going through the whole book of Proverbs as part of the chronology of the lives of David and Solomon, then having them repeat Proverbs 25-29 maybe three weeks later, and then Proverbs 30-31 again another three weeks after that (of course, I have other daily readings of Proverbs during this same time in my plan, which already provides sufficient repeats and overlaps). 

Here's the erring string:

Here is the fix (this is not an actual quote, per se, but will be in the future [;)] ):

 The version I did find that matches it was at www.esv.org. On the right half of the split screen...

First off, I should mention, ^^ that plan is no longer at that site. I sent them a brief question, wanting to see it, and the next business day got this reply:  "Hello, Thank you for contacting us. We had to remove this plan for editorial reasons which is why you are unable to find it. We apologize for the inconvenience. Have a blessed day! In Christ..."

That being that, the problem I'd needed to track down was that the Book of Job was completely MISSING in that plan, and thus all my previous beta versions.  It had been discussed (and still left unresolved 8 years ago) in this forum; https://community.logos.com/forums/t/24784.aspx, and I'd missed it--and it messed up a few other people, some finding out at the end of the year.  I guess I caught it right past the 3/4 mark (like they did), still with time to catch up and also fix the problem.  Where to put it? Before Genesis? Between Genesis 3 and 4? Between Genesis 11 and 12? Many plans do all of the above. Without getting into a technical discussion about obscure Hebrew words, authorship, and the dating of the book, F. LaGard Smith, compiler of "The Narrated Bible," sees it as compatible with the challenges those of the Dispersion would face, and he places it after the Fall of Jerusalem and the Dispersion and before the Book of Daniel.  We might add that if they were, in fact, looking back to an example from the period of the Patriarchs, considering the ancient paths as they should (Jer 6:16), then so be it.  Further, at the end of my ESV Study Bible hardcopy is a daily reading plan broken into four parts, and the Book of Job follows the Dispersion, so as the plan is entitled, "Chronological Order from ESV Study Bible Notes," that is where Job has been placed.
Didn't plan to dominate the conversation on this page and have withheld the last several iterations of my own plan, and while hammering this out, I nearly hasten to share this after discovering more review is needed--but I know it is in better shape now than it ever was in the past.  After fixing the Job problem, I also formally parted from the above Chronological Order from ESV Study Bible Notes because I tripped across a several other problems:


Isaiah 36, Sennacharib's invasion of Judah corresponds with 2Ki 18 and 2Chr 32, yet the three are separated by about 26 days in my above versions 1 - 4, when run as a 2yr plan. By breaking readings of those books into smaller chunks, which are all covered in either a chapter or two in each account, the Assyrian threat, God's deliverance, and the extension of Hezekiah's life in all three accounts fit nicely together in the reading program within 3 days of each other.  Preceding and following accounts also correspond well.  One could surmise that while this plan is not overly piecemeal, an oversight such as this indicates there are other parallel passages needing attention. 
Chronologically, "the events recorded in Numbers 1–6 were preceded by those described in 7:1–9:15"  -Wiersbe, W. W. (1999). Be counted. Colorado Springs, CO: Chariot Victor Pub. p.10 digital version.  This is yet another indication that multiple other matters of chronology are there to be ironed out.  This one is fairly minor, and while I agree to avoid breaking up chapters piecemeal, where whole chapters are involved, it is preferable to get the chronological chunks in order.
Many Psalms that are clearly Exhilic are placed in strange places in the above-mentioned chronology, so those identified by F. LaGard Smith, after review, have been moved to more appropriate spots--but I learned to be careful. One of his, Ps 89 was exhilic in a sense, ascribed to "Ethan the Ezrahite." But to be clear, this was not in the time of Ezra (and Smith never actually claimed he was).  In 1Ki 4:31, Solomon was compared in wisdom to "Ethan the Ezrahite," and thus Ps 89 fit with the exile David and company went into during Absalom's rebellion. It could have been meaningful to the Jews of the Dispersion, sure.  It has floated around all kinds of places in various Chronological reading plans. These problems revealed that too little care and effort went into the placement of all of the Psalms above.  Ps 12-13 were removed from Absalom's rebellion and placed when David fled from Saul, after Samuel's death and when he lived in a cave. Several other Psalms were moved into more appropriate places (7, 34, 52, 56, etc.) and then the proclivity of the problem proved the need to review the placement of EVERY Psalm in the Chronology (at this moment, I do not even know if all 150 are even placed in the plan).  
Overall, New Testament Chronology hasn't been much of an issue so far (aside from a mistake this editor made with programming the plan in Acts early on).  Perhaps these had more attention given to them up-front.  At present, I'm still running two different NT Chronologies, and if I start adjusting or preferring one, I may select between the two.

Thus, with assurance it is even better than the "good" plans above (and that it is on target to become even better), this is a plan which works well as an 18 month to a 3 year plan, depending on the length of the daily readings desired.  It takes a reader through this daily format: Psalms | Chronological OT (w/Psalms interspersed) | Proverbs | Chronological NT.  As it is set up here, it goes through Psalms 6 times for that portion, perhaps fully one more pass through Psalms along with the OT Chronological Readings, through Proverbs 6 times, and Chronologically through the NT four times.
Seeking an alternative to presumptuously [;)] posting the whole thing here, as I have done in the past, I thought maybe I'd found a suitable alternative in sharing it at documents.logos.com/documents, but you would have to join a special group to see the daily reading assignments, and then it wouldn't give you the neat code to throw it into your own applet and get your own setup.  While it is a little more advanced and ironed than the one I'm working on now (give me a break, I already had to check off 18 mos of readings TWICE in the last 10 days while getting a new plan up and running for myself after that Book of Job and other debacles), I did just run it through Logos Reading Plans applet and spot-checked several dates to make sure its coding is working.  Here is...
