2018 Reformation Reading Challenge

Reformation Reading Challenge
Host: Operation Actually Read Bible (sign up here)
Duration: October 31, 2017 - December 31, 2018
# of books: minimum of 1 book OR 1 sermon series

Any book BY a reformer, ABOUT a reformer, or ABOUT the reformation (history, theology, legacy) will count.

As will any teaching/preaching series about any reformer or the reformation. Any documentary or film about the Reformers or the Reformation.

This year I want to emphasize the LEGACY portion of the Reformation Reading Challenge. While you might could argue there is a "start date" to the Reformation, there is not an end date necessarily. The work of the Reformation lives on--should live on. So ANY book by any Reformed author counts under the "legacy" portion of the challenge.

I'd like to encourage you to read PURITANS. 

You do not need to have a blog--or a place where you post reviews online--in order to participate. If you do review what you read, you can share links either in this sign-up post, or, you can send me a tweet. (@operationbible)

The minimum requirement is one book or one sermon series. There is no maximum limit!

Sign up by leaving a comment. You don't have to commit to specifics.Though if you have decided, then feel free to share! But you don't have to have it all exactly planned out in order to join!

Operation Commentary

Goal: To read--over a long period of time, no rush--a commentary for each and every book of the Bible. The goal is not to read an entire commentary set by a sole author, though if that is your personal goal, go for it. You may mix and match commentators. And combined commentaries are alright as well. For example, you often see commentaries group 1, 2, and 3 John, for example.

2015 Cloud of Witnesses Reading Challenge (Sign up)

This will be the third full year I'll be hosting the Cloud of Witnesses Reading Challenge. I hope you'll join me!

The title of this reading challenge comes from Hebrews 12:1-2, which reads "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." (KJV) If the KJV isn't quite for you,

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (NASB)

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (ESV)

For an author to qualify for this reading challenge, they must be among "the cloud of witnesses".... in other words, they must be dead. I think it isn't always easy for readers to pick up Christian classics. Perhaps because it isn't always easy to know exactly where to start. Perhaps because people think that they will be difficult to understand--that the language will be too difficult, the style too complicated. Perhaps because people question if a book will still be relevant. I believe that there are some AMAZING, GREAT, WONDERFUL, MUST-MUST-MUST reads out there waiting to be discovered.

Examples of qualifying authors:

• John Stott (1921-2011)
• D. James Kennedy (1930-2007)
• James Montgomery Boice (1938-2000)
• Loraine Boettner (1901-1990)
• J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988)
• Corrie Ten Boom (1892-1983)
• Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981)
• Watchman Nee (1903-1972)
• C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
• A.W. Tozer (1897-1963)
• Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957)
• A.W. Pink (1886-1952)
• Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945)
• G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
• R.A. Torrey (1856-1928)
• Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)
• A.B. Simpson (1843-1919)
• Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
• E.M. Bounds (1835-1913)
• Andrew Murray (1828-1917)
• Alexander Whyte (1836-1921)
• J.C. Ryle (1816-1900)
• Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)
• Charles Hodge (1797-1878)
• Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
• George Whitfield (1714-1770)
• John Wesley (1703-1791)
• William Law (1686-1761)
• Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
• John Owen (1616-1683)
• John Bunyan (1628-1688)
• Stephen Charnock (1628-1680)
• John Flavel (1627-1691)
• Matthew Henry (1662-1714)
• Martin Luther (1483-1546)
• John Calvin (1509-1564)
• Brother Lawrence (1605-1691)
• Thomas Watson (1620-1686)
• Thomas Manton (1620-1677)
• Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471)
• Saint Augustine (354-430)

So what "counts" for this challenge? Well, the goal is to get you acquainted with different authors. So any reading material will count: no matter the length. It can be an article of a few pages; an individual sermon or a collection of sermons; it can be a book of quotes by that person; it can be a biography or autobiography about the person; you might find full-length books available online, or individual sermons online. And of course it doesn't matter if it's a book-book, e-book, or audiobook.

So how do I find books? Some authors will still be in print. Others won't be. Plenty of qualifying books can be found at Amazon for Kindle or Barnes & Noble for Nooks. Plenty can be read online or downloaded as pdfs. 

A great place to begin might be Free Grace Broadcaster. They've got subject-themed newsletters with articles by various authors. Topics include "The Work of Christ," "Worship," "Heaven," "The Resurrection." 

I also recommend Christian Classics Ethereal Library. 

So how many books are required? 

If you're completely new to christian nonfiction (christian living, theology, bible commentaries, bible studies, etc.) then I'd like to challenge you to read ONE or TWO books. If your first attempt is too tough, or proving not-for-you, try again. Don't assume that just because one author isn't working for you, that no author will. 

If christian nonfiction is something you're comfortable reading, I'd like to challenge you to read four to six books for this challenge. 

What I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see is for people to share quotes from what they're reading. I'd love to see readers recommend books to one another. So while I'd never, ever require participants to write book reviews, if you have a blog, I'd love for you to share quotes occasionally with your readers and let me know about it. If you don't have a blog, you could always leave quotes in the comments here. (Trust me, I'd welcome some relief from spam comments.)

Sign up for the challenge by leaving a comment on the blog. If you want you can suggest an author that I've left off the list.

The dates for the challenge are January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

I. Wonderful Words of Life. Goal: Read the Bible using a Bible Plan

This has not been a failure exactly. My first stated goal was to use the John MacArthur 30 days plan. So far, I've done 30 days of 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians. I'm currently doing 30 days of Hebrews. Ideally, I'd be able to do the 30 day project one or two more times this year. 

At one time, I thought my focus would be on a chronological reading plan. I bought myself the KJV Life Application Bible for Christmas, and I was super-excited to try to read it in one year. But. I lost momentum. And I've discovered I really do prefer text-only bibles. So I may try to read the rest of the Bible in KJV so that I complete that translation at least this year. But I don't see myself getting back to the Life Application side of it.

MacArthur Study Bible. This was my most ambitious goal. I've owned a MacArthur Study Bible for over fifteen years and I have yet to complete it in any translation. So far I've read 13 OT books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, and Joel. I've also read 10 NT books: Mark, John, Galatians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, Hebrews, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and Revelation. I don't plan on giving up. But I can't imagine that I'll finish all of the OT and NT in just one year. 

I've also hosted two "Read With Me" projects. One was Genesis. I don't think a single person besides myself joined me. But that's okay. The second was John in April. That one did a bit better! 

II. How Firm A Foundation. Goal: STUDY one book of the Bible throughout the year.

I chose the Gospel of John.
