The Ten Lists System
Scripture Interpreting Scripture
Based on Professor Grant Horner's system, this method divides the Bible into ten distinct lists. By reading one chapter from each list every day, you read through the entire Bible at varying rates, allowing different sections of Scripture to interweave and comment on one another.

How It Works
Each of the 10 lists contains different books of the Bible. The lists vary in length from 28 to 250 chapters:
- List 1 — Gospels
- List 2 — Pentateuch
- List 3 — Romans & Epistles
- List 4 — Epistles
- List 5 — Wisdom
- List 6 — Psalms
- List 7 — Proverbs
- List 8 — History
- List 9 — Prophets
- List 10 — Acts
Why This Method Works
Because each list cycles at a different rate, you’ll never read the same 10-chapter combination twice. Scripture interprets Scripture as passages from different books speak to each other in fresh ways each day.
A full cycle of all ten lists takes about 250 days. By the end of it you’ll have read Proverbs eight times, Acts nine times, and the Gospels almost three times — while reading the longer books once. The repetition at different intervals is the point.
