Welcome back to The Read, Do, & Tell Podcast!
Today, Amy and I are walking you through the next 30-day Bible reading plan for November. This time, it’s all about Paul’s epistles {or letters}.
Episode 36: Paul’s Epistles Bible Reading Plan
Saul, also known as Paul, was an apostle of Jesus Christ. Although not one of the original 12 disciples of Jesus, Paul was visited by Jesus on the road to Damascus. Here, Paul had an encounter with Jesus, which would change his life forever. {Read about this in Acts 9 as well as when Paul retells it in Acts 22.}
Paul wrote thirteen epistles, or letters in the New Testament. So, out of the 27 books, Paul wrote 13. Wow! These books, however, are not arranged in chronological order, as one might expect.
Most people think these letters are arranged in the order that Paul wrote them, but these letters are not arranged chronologically. So why are the letters of Paul arranged in this way if they’re not chronological? They follow two rules. The first group of letters is to cities [or communities], and the second group of letters is written to individuals. Within each of those two groups, the letters are arranged from the longest letters to the shortest letters.”

In this episode, Amy and I go through 11 of Paul’s 13 letters to talk about when and why he wrote them.
*Although we mention 1 Timothy and Philemon today, they are not included in the Bible reading plan. Thirty days just isn’t enough time to read everything Paul wrote. So, of course, we encourage you to read them on your own.
Paul’s writings are filled with doctrine and practical ways to live it out. Colossians is my {Becky’s} favorite…at least it is today. 🙂
