The in one year

By Fr Richard Green Parish of Aberdare St Fagan INTRODUCTION

This scheme provides for the reading of the entire , and the vast majority of the and , over the course of one year. The books of the Apocrypha (from the Greek meaning ‘hidden’), also known as the Deuterocanonical (secondary canonical) books, are included within the Roman Catholic canon of scripture. The Anglican position is that ‘the Church doth read [them] for example of life and instruction of manners; but yet doth it not apply them to establish any doctrine’ (Article 6 of the 39 Articles of Religion). In Roman Catholic , the Apocrypha books are printed amongst the Old Testament; in Protestant Bibles they are printed after the Old Testament. If your Bible doesn’t have the Apocrypha printed in it, the books can easily be found online by searching for the passage in question. The Apocryphal book of Ecclesiasticus is sometimes also known as ; be careful not to confuse it with the Old Testament book of .

The selection of passages is largely taken from The Common Worship Weekday Lectionary of the Church of England (that used for morning and evening prayer) which is copyright © The Archbishops’ Council, 2005, with some adaptation. This lectionary is also used in the Church in Wales. It was stated above that the vast majority of the Old Testament and Apocrypha is included. Passages omitted are often long genealogies or other lists; detailed descriptions of laws or the construction of the Temple; or other passages left out for reasons best known to the compilers of the lectionary. This scheme has included some of the passages originally omitted where there seemed no good reason for the omission; but some passages have had to be left out in order to accommodate the scheme into one year. Those using the scheme can of course read the omitted passages if they wish.

The arrangement of books of the Old and New Testament largely follows that of The New Biblical Commentary, and the rationale for this arrangement is as follows. After the first 12 books of the Old Testament, which comprises the Pentateuch, Ruth, and the of Joshua, Judges, and Kings, we switch to the prophets, who effectively provide a commentary on the events recounted in the . The prophets are followed in roughly chronological order, beginning with Amos. The is split into chapters 1-39 and 40-66, the latter portion being generally considered to be of a later date than the former. The books of Chronicles are read with and Nehemiah, these four books forming a unity. After the book of , we then switch to the books not describing any particular historical era (Proverbs, , Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, Esther and Jonah). The book of is not included in this scheme as it is usually read as part of the office of morning and evening prayer. A useful scheme for reading the whole Psalter in the course of a month, based on that found in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, is included in the appendix.

The arrangement of New Testament books is as follows. Mark is read first, it generally being considered the earliest to be written. Acts is read straight after Luke, the two works being written by the same author. The letters then follow, roughly in order of date of composition, using the majority of scholarly consensus. The is included with the letters of John.

It will be seen that every month is given 31 days; this enables more passages to be included, and it also means that the scheme can be started at any point during the year. In months with 30 days, the extra portions can be added to the readings for that day or the next day.

Comments on the scheme, and suggestions for modification or improvement, are welcome, and may be incorporated in future editions.
