Nell Sunukjian from The Good Book Blog has a post on reading the Bible. He’s particularly emphasizing the one year bible plan. I’d call attention to my own recent post Reading the Bible Frequently and Thoroughly.

Let’s Get Critical
Byhenry July 12, 2013
It’s amazing to me how frequently we are do biblical criticism, but are not sufficiently critical in evaluating the results.

Word Study Dangers: Glosses and Definitions
Byhenry February 26, 2007
In my previous entry in this series I noted the difference between a gloss and a definition.
