About Daily Readings For The Christian Year
Daily Readings for the Christian Year is a simple reading plan (lectionary) for going through the whole Bible in a manner that coordinates with the Christian liturgical calendar and the Sunday readings used by many denominations (2019 BCP, 1979 BCP, Revised Common Lectionary, Lectionary for Mass, etc.). Developed in 2013, Daily Readings for the Christian Year accomplishes many things. Here is a short list: • Read through the whole of the New Testament at least twice a year You will read the New Testament completely through every year if you do only Morning or Evening and you will read through the whole New Testament twice a year if you do both. Some of the more formational passages are read more frequently than this. • Read through the greater part of the Old Testament every year We read through most of the Old Testament every year if you do both Morning and Evening and in the course of 2 years if you do only one or the other. We have ordered the readings more or less chronologically according to the context of the book (not necessarily its writing). The portion of the Old Testament that we do not cover is listed on our website. • Have Old Testament and/or Psalm readings that “speak in” to the New Testament reading for the day The New Testament readings are placed so that they: A) often align with a relevant Old Testament passage (e.g. Jesus’ temptation and Deuteronomy 6-8), B) align with the Psalm for the day, or C) align (within a week) with one of the Sunday Eucharist readings (see the next item). We do this, however, while still reading through the whole book from beginning to end in order. • Coordinate with the ACNA/RCL/’79BCP Sunday readings The New Testament readings also often will align with a recent or upcoming Sunday Eucharist reading. The Sunday Eucharist readings are on a 3-year cycle so this occurs probably 8-10 times a year and at different times. As mentioned already, we do this while still reading through the New Testament books from beginning to end. • Both OT and NT readings that proceed semi-continuously As mentioned already, our readings proceed in a semi-continuous fashion – that means we start at the beginning of a book and read through to the end. Sometime this even happens so that a special reading for a Holy Day is the appropriate next reading following the day before. (e.g. Luke 2:22-40 is the reading for the Presentation of Christ in the Temple on February 2nd. The February 1st reading is Luke 2:1-21). • Consist of one OT and one NT reading for each day Seems pretty straightforward. • Use readings that follow the liturgical season with special readings for Holy Days As mentioned above, we have special readings for each of the major Holy Days (those listed in the 2019 Book of Common Prayer). Additionally, we have readings appropriate to Advent during Advent and appropriate to Lent during late February and early March which will always be late Epiphany or Lent. • Be simple and clear as to which reading is to be used on any given date We wanted a lectionary that was easy to use. It seemed to us that knowing whether it was the 18th or the 20th Sunday after Pentecost was asking a little much. Our lectionary requires you to know what day it is today. Hope you can handle that. This annual publication also includes Collects (prayers) for each week of the year and for Holy Days that can be said as well. ---
