What is the most popular book of the Bible? We’ve all wondered at some point—out of 66 different books, there have to be a few that resonate with more people than others, right?
Yep.
Turns out that some books of the Bible get a lot more attention than others. The kind folks at Bible Gateway.com shared their stats with me on the top 10 most-accessed books of the Bible. Their data also shed some light on why some of these books get so much attention.
So to recap, the most popular books of the Bibles are:
1. Psalms - If you like Psalms, check out 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel and Lamentations
2. Matthew - Matthew fans will also like Isaiah and Hebrew
3. John - If you like John's Gospel, you don't want to miss his letters: 1, 2 & 3 John
4. Romans - Romans fans will love its abridged version: Galatians, Peters instructions for Christians address similar themes
5. Proverbs - For more wisdom poetry, read Ecclesiastes. For more practical wisdom, read James
6. Genesis - The stroy continues in Exodus, and you'll meet more familiar characters in 1 and 2 Samuel.
7. Luke - Read Luke first. Read Acts next.
8. 1 Corinthians - Of course, 2Corinthians is the logical nesxt step. If you're into 1 Corinthians 13 ( "the love chapter"), you should check out 1 John, or any of these places
9. Isaiah - Matthew quoted Isaiah a lot! and Hosea addresses many similar themes.
10. Acts - Make sure you read Luke first. After that I suggest you check out Romans
