How Long it Takes to Read the Bible

September 24, 2014 By Peter Krol

Literary agent Steve Laube recently posted an infographic showing how long it takes to read about 60 classic and popular works of literature. The entire Bible takes less than 45 hours to read, less than either the Harry Potter series or the Game of Thrones series.

With just 30 minutes per day of solid Bible reading, you could still complete another read-through before the end of the year!

    Having read this I thought it was really informative.
    I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this short
    article together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant
    amount of time both reading and commenting.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!
