A few friends are attempting to read through the entire Bible and here we’ll share reactions and discussion along the way. We’re using “The Message//Remix: Pause: A Daily Reading Bible” by Eugene H. Peterson, trying to finish in a year.

The title, “The Berean Initiative”, is what David initially called this endeavor. From Acts 17:11—

That night, under cover of darkness, their friends got Paul and Silas out of town as fast as they could. They sent them to Berea, where they again met with the Jewish community. They were treated a lot better there than in Thessalonica. The Jews received Paul’s message with enthusiasm and met with him daily, examining the Scriptures to see if they supported what he said. A lot of them became believers, including many Greeks who were prominent in the community, women and men of influence.
