But you don’t need it. Do what the Reformed from Calvin to Baxter did and Spurgeon rediscovered: preach a book over a few weeks, then another one, then another. But be aware that to cover the bible in a year you need around 5 — 10 chapters OT and two NT a day…

Or preach daily. Which again, is what Baxter did: going into the fields with the plowmen if needed.

I think this is probably key, once you get past a certain number of foundational truths. Hopefully a group can get past the Hebrews 5:11-14 admonition so the foundational truths need to be repeated like they do now, but whole books can be preached, and all Scriptures must be confronted.

The problem I have found in looking at the lectionaries is exactly that. They skip around and don’t hit the Scriptures that threaten their own tradition or their own power if understood and born out to their full conclusion. This “threat” has been mentioned time and again in the literature I’ve read in the past (I remember a specific quote, but haven’t been able to find it again). A great example is even in some Jewish lectionaries where I understand they skip Isaiah 52:13-53:12, for reasons that should be obvious to the Christian. Any plan that isn’t comprehensive can easily be suspect.
