Reading
Students spend about 30 minutes a day preparing their weekly
readings. The text for Disciple is the Bible, supplemented with a
manual containing daily reading assignments and supportive
background material. You may want to take notes as you read. See Costs
and Supplies for more information about selecting a study Bible.
Disciple I covers about 85% of the Bible, so there is a fair amount
of reading, especially in the Old Testament. However, the longest
Old Testament readings do not focus on detail and much of it, such
as the histories, can be quickly scanned. There is more than
adequate time for all New Testament readings. The 15% of the Bible
that isn't covered is mostly repetitious material in the Old
Testament.
Everyone gets behind in their reading occasionally, but you won't be
lost since the gap can be made up in class during discussion. The
most important part of the Disciple program is class, and you should
not miss just because you could not get to all the reading.
