	I disagree with @zeller - the number after the name usually refers to the chapter. So 2 John is a letter, but John 2 is the second chapter of the gospel of John. Probably too late to change since it's been published, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

	I agree with cubsnskins: start with one of the four gospels, preferably Matthew or John. I'd also recommend Luke (since it's directed at someone who's unfamiliar with Jesus Christ), though it's a bit lengthy and might not hold the average person's attention for long if they're not already interested in the Bible.

	millandas: are you saying that the book was written chronologically, or the Bible. If the first, yes, obviously--the second, not at all--considering that Ezra and Nehemiah are #15 & 16 in Biblical order, but #30-something chronologically. #43 is the Gospel of John, when it was the 61st or 62nd written.

	Good point Saintsfan. Many people don't realize that the Gospels, and Acts, were actually the LAST books written, decades after Jesus and Paul were gone from the scene.

	@cubsnskins: Don't want to debate, but I think you're wrong there. If you're a Christian, you should know that it's difficult to have the Gospel without Genesis. Where did the world come from? Who created Man? Who is God? Why did Man sin? What is sin? If I was to suggest to anyone the order of how to read the books, I would tell them to read Genesis first, then a Gospel (perhaps Mark). The doctor tells you what's wrong with you before he gives you the cure.

	@debate over which to read first: the New Testament is considered to be the fulfillment of the Old, so reading the Old first would be better so you understand all the allusions to it in the Gospels.

	@hamlet - actually Mark was written very early.

	Should also accept ii John.

	Got zero, I guessed the 8 or so books I knew...

	@BritneyKeira...you are correct about the early writing of Mark, but it was still written after the death of Paul.
