It’s a new year. And that means millions of Christians will be enthusiastically embarking on new Bible-reading plans. New Year’s resolutions to read the Bible cover-to-cover were a feature of the Christian world in which I grew up. It was a world of memory verses and receiving certificates at the front of church, and it instilled in me a love of and a reverence for this sacred text. I owe a lot of my Christian formation to the Youth Bible; its worn pages and scribbled notes in gel pen a sign of my teenage piety.
