 Bible Reading Project

Hello all. I just started a new blog about different ways to read and interact with the Bible. It also will include Bible and book reviews and other such information.

My newest project is highlighting and underlining in an ESV pew Bible.

What methods (unusual or mundane) do you use to get the most out of your Bible study?

Check out the blog and leave feedback at [url=www.biblereadingproject.blogspot.com]Bible Reading Project[/url]

Let me know what you think. I'm always excited to learn what editions of the Bible people like (Cambridge KJV wide margin etc.) and how they study.

 Re: Bible Reading Project

I just finished your entry. That's a great idea! I thought the "light" example was awesome. I'm gonna pick up a pew bible also now because I was highlighting a regular bible and it seeped through too much where I couldn't tell which side of the page was supposed to be highlighted.

I use Flags by Post-It to mark certain passages of the bible.
It might be useful for you also.

What do the five highlighter colors correspond to?

 Re:

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also use flags in some of my Bibles.

The five colors in my ESV pew bible correspond to:

Orange: Holiness
Yellow: Prayer/intercession
Green: Humility and Weakness
Pink: Love
Blue: Special interest

I originally started highlighting in my Amplified with pink for imperatives and commands, yellow for prayer, green for our identity in Christ, orange for the identity of Jesus, and blue for special occasions again.

More projects to come! If you have any ideas let me know!

 Re:

narrowpath,

For some reason I never thought of marking verses with symbols for identification. That is a brilliant idea! I will have to start mark symbols too. Our Bibles are going to begin to look like roadmaps, but that's the fun of it.

Tell you what, if you send me photos of your marked up Bible, I'll post it. If anyone's interested email [email protected]
