Reading order

A simple Bible reading order for new readers.

There is no single required order for every reader. LargeBible.com keeps the path simple: start with a readable book, then move through the larger story.

Short answer

A practical order is John, Psalms, Genesis, Matthew, Acts, Romans, then the rest of the New Testament and Old Testament.

  • This is a practical reading order, not a doctrinal rule.
  • The large print reader works chapter by chapter so you can move slowly.
