The New Testament is where Christianity finds its foundation: the life and teachings of Jesus, the birth of the church, letters of guidance to early communities, and a prophetic vision of ultimate restoration. The New Testament 90 plan takes you through all 27 books, from the Gospel of Matthew through Revelation, in 90 daily readings of about 10 minutes each. It is an ambitious three-month journey through the texts that shaped the faith of billions, and an achievable one. You begin with the four Gospels and their four perspectives on Jesus’ life, then move into Acts and the story of the early church. From there come Paul’s letters, Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, and the rest, which wrestle with grace, identity, community, and hope. The general epistles (Hebrews, James, Peter, John, and Jude) offer practical wisdom and theological depth. The plan closes with Revelation, a book of vivid imagery and ultimate hope that ties together threads from the entire Bible. The plan suits readers who want a focused immersion in the New Testament without committing to a full year. At about 3 chapters a day, the pace is brisk but manageable, and the momentum builds as you go. By the time you reach Paul’s letters, the Gospels give you the context that makes every argument richer. By the time you reach Revelation, you’ll recognize where its images come from.

No. While the Old Testament provides valuable background, the New Testament is designed to be read and understood on its own. Lummi provides helpful context notes where Old Testament references appear.
That’s very common. Paul often writes in long, complex sentences. Try reading a section, then paraphrasing it in your own words. The key ideas of grace, faith, and community become clearer with each letter.
Yes. A 90-day commitment works well for a quarter-long group study. You can read individually and meet weekly to discuss what stood out.
