Do the Johannine epistles;
next the synoptics and acts
then the genuine Pauline letters
then the deutero-paulines
next the catholics (doing 1 Peter last in this group)
hebrews next
then, and finally, revelation (since the greek of rev. is poor grammatically
speaking)
This is, so far as I am concerned, an ascending list where you will tackle
the easiest first and progress to the more difficult, ending with
revelation. I Peter and Hebrews are the best, grammatically while John and
the Johannines are simplest (though I am sure someone will disagree) !!!
This, at any rate, was the order we had to translate them in during ThM
course work (lo these many years ago now- I am suddenly feeling somewhat
aged and must now rest.....)
