1. Gospel of John
2. Gospels and Acts
3. Genesis
4. Epistles
5. Wisdom books (Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Sirach, etc)
6. Rest of the Pentateuch

After that it's not that important what order you read the rest of the books (prophets, Israelite history, etc) but Revelation should be the last book you read and it's best if you read it carefully and with a quality commentary. I also recommend that you read the deuterocanonical books even if you personally don't consider them canonical.

Brainlet here, which ones would these be or are they apocrypha?

They are the apocryphal books. You can read them but they are not canon.

>> No.13734517

>>13734481
The Protestant Apocrypha is equal to the Catholic Deuterocanon, more or less.

>> No.13734602

Read Ezekiel and Revelations because they're fucking crazy and awesome. Get the cliff notes for the Jesus parts. Forget the rest.

First to last page, and then reread until you die
