I’m recording the King James Version of the Bible, one chapter at a time. I invite you to join me in listening. Here’s why:
1) The New Testament in the KJV is based on the Received Text (Textus Receptus), which I believe is the most trustworthy and original text of the New Testament books. The Received Text is the basis for other early English translations of the Bible during the Reformation period, including the Tyndale New Testament and the Coverdale Bible.
2) The King James Version of the Bible is renowned for its linguistic beauty.
3) There’s a certain power in reading Bible books as a whole. Bible-in-a-year plans can be great, but they have a few pitfalls:
• They typically chop the Bible up into unnatural parts (a reading from several books each day). This makes it harder to understand each book and remember it distinctly.
• If it’s not January 1, we aren’t as likely to start a Bible-in-a-year reading plan. Every day is an excellent day to start reading the Bible.
• At the end of the year — once we’ve completed reading the whole Bible — we might think we’re “done.” Our goal shouldn’t simply be to read the whole Bible; our goal should be to read the whole Bible and to read the Bible every day of our life. We’re never done.

Before moving on to Exodus, I'm spending more time with Genesis. I don't want to just read it; I want to internalize it. I invite you to join me.
