WELCOME to 52
At Bible Society New Zealand, we understand that from the beginning to the end, the Bible is one BIG STORY! Sometimes this BIG STORY can seem too big, too complicated, and not relevant in our busy lives today. That’s where 52 comes in!
52 is our brand-new Bible Reading Plan designed to help all believers, young or old, to get a fresh overview of the BIG STORY of the Bible, without getting bogged down with the details.
the timeline
SO... what is covered?
The Bible plan revolves around a SIMPLIFIED timeline, that enables readers to understand the key elements, events, and stories of the Bible, without getting buried in the details!
Each week there are selected Bible readings, a memory verse, and some interesting challenges to emphasise, or apply the scriptures, in a meaningful and practical way.
The year begins with the Creation Story – the incredible account of how God created the heavens and the earth. In Genesis 3, readers will then take a “deep dive” to examine the effects of the fall on all mankind.
Readers will examine the lifestyles of leading Bible characters – such as Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and Esther and explore the writings of the major prophets, priests, and kings.
In the New Testament studies revolve around God’s amazing plan of redemption, through the remarkable life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Bible readings taken from the four gospels, Paul’s writings, and the epistles are studied, and the Christian doctrines of communion, repentance, baptism and the Holy Spirit are also covered.
The Bible Reading Plan draws to a close, with reflections on prayer, faith & love, wisdom, suffering and the hope of a new world to come!
We believe this Bible Reading Plan is a great resource for new believers who are starting on their Christian journey and want to develop a regular Bible reading habit. It is also an effective Bible Engagement tool for believers seeking an innovative, and fresh approach to reading through key portions of the Bible in one year.

The 52 Bible Reading Plan is suitable for all ages and is worth sharing with those around you.
