Since this thread isn't as long, I've just modified the thread title rather than starting a new one. 

So for those who have stayed on pace, we have finished the historical books of the OT.  If this is your first time reading through the Bible, you have now read basically a "history of the world," from a Jewish perspective, from the creation through about 400 B.C.  When we get to the phophets, we will go back and fill in some details in the kingdom years and exile period, but the period of about 400 B.C. until a few years before Christ's birth is not dealt with directly (other than through prophecies in the OT and some references back in the NT). 

But first, the books of poetry, starting with Job.  Very interesting and very controversial book.

I love Job.  I will try to jump back in at this point.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I've not felt the need to fact-check this myself, but I've heard and read that there are bigger chunks of Job than anywhere else in the Bible that we simply do not know one way or the other whether they are authentic or do not know how to properly translate.  As a result, there is a much bigger variance in what some parts say from translation to translation than any other book in the Bible.  At least, I think that's how it was presented.  What say you on this, hef?

I don't know about that per se, but I'll be happy to check it out.  :tup

Bump.

I have decided to stop following the reading schedule from the website and instead just read 2 pages a day.
