Bible FAQsQ: What is a lectionary? A: The lectionary is a methodical Bible reading plan that covers the entire Bible in a set period of time. By definition, our Bible reading plans are lectionaries. A common and popular lectionary is the Revised Common Lectionary, which is a three year plan. In it, each day's reading covers three or four sections from Bible, often an Old Testament passage, a Psalm, a reading from a Gospel, and a selection from an Epistle. This provides great variety, but also introduces discontinuity as it makes it hard to see the big picture, instead showing several small vignettes of the Bible each day. For this reason, the Bible reading plans on this site involve only one passage each day and group whole sections of the Bible together over successive days. We feel this is a more effective way to comprehend and appreciate the way in which the Bible fits together as a collective whole. This is not to be critical of the Revised Common Lectionary or other similar lectionaries, but to offer our perspective of its strengths and weaknesses.
