Q: Where should I start reading the Bible?
A: It is important realize that the Bible is not an ordinary book to read from cover to cover. It is a collection of 66 books written by different authors in several languages. Any first reading of the Bible should begin with the Gospels, in the New Testament. You may start with the gospel of ヨハネによる福音書, the 4th Book of the New Testament. It is simple and clear and introduces you to the essential plan of Salvation. Then you may chose the gospel of マルコによる福音書, quick and fast-paced. マルコによる福音書 tells us what Jesus did, while ヨハネによる福音書 tells us what Jesus said and who Jesus was. Reading the Gospels (マタイによる福音書, マルコによる福音書, ルカによる福音書, ヨハネによる福音書) will familiarize you with Christ’s life and ministry.

After, read some of the Epistles (ローマの信徒への手紙, エフィソの信徒への手紙, フィリピの信徒への手紙). These teach us how to live our lives in a way that is honoring to God. Then you are ready to start reading the Old Testament: read the book of 創世記 - it tells us how God created the world and how mankind fell into sin, as well as the impact that fall had on the world. 出エジプト記, レビ記, Numbers, and 申命記 may be hard to read because they get into all the laws God required the Jews to live by. These are perhaps better left for later study. Reading 詩篇 through Song of Solomon will give you a good feel of Biblical poetry and wisdom. The prophetic books, like イザヤ書 and ダニエル書, are great books to read to understand deeper aspects of Christianity and the End Time - the time before Jesus second coming.

Also, above are a selection from the Bible on a variety of topics.
