Three year plan of reading commentaries for all of NT and about four OT plus OT Theology by von Rad, Use of OT in NT seems to be on schedule. I just got done with Hebrews and liked Bruce’s commentary very much.
I’m trying to read a regular book in between each commentary but Greek stuff has been slowing me down and I want to keep going. I am reading John Calvin: A Heart for Devotion Doctrine & Doxology right now which I’ll be reviewing. It’s fascinating.
What I’m doing now is read the book in the NLT first and not slowly like I was doing before but trying to read it all at once to get a better overview. Then after reading the commentary I read the book again in the NRSV where I write any notes.
I’ll need to go back to the Gospels and Acts because for some reason I started in Romans. I was going to do Genesis, Job, Ecclesiastes and Daniel in between the Gospels but I may do Isaiah instead of Job since I’ve gone through Job a couple of times. We’ll see.
After all that I want to do some serious exegesis and in-depth study of the Sermon on the Mount (which we did in group study), Colossians and part(s) of Hebrews.
All subject to change. But I think I’m about halfway through and it’s been about a year and a half.
