About the Reading Plan: Ascension’s Bible in a Year Podcast follows a reading plan inspired by The Great Adventure Bible Timeline, a ground-breaking approach to understanding salvation history developed by renowned Catholic Bible teacher Jeff Cavins. The Great Adventure Bible Timeline Philosophy: • Identiﬁes the 14 narrative books that tell the story of Scripture from beginning to end. The remaining “supplemental books” of the Bible are then contextualized within the storyline of the 14 narrative books. • Divides the Bible into 12 time periods, identiﬁed by different colors, which serve as“chapters” in Salvation History. How to Use the Reading Plan: This reading plan covers the entire Catholic Bible in 365 days. Each day, Father Mike Schmitz will read 2-3 Scripture passages that coincide with the 12 periods of The Great Adventure Bible Timeline, denoted by the colors on the left side of the reading plan. Readings in bold refer to the 14 narrative books of the Bible. The Psalms and Proverbs are spread out throughout the year to provide additional opportunity for prayer, reﬂection, and practical wisdom. The Psalms in italics have a particular connection to that day’s other readings. Thank you for joining us on this journey! We can’t wait to get started!
