So here we are - 929 days in, over three-quarters of the way through the project, 128,137 characters published, and the whole of the Old Testament summarised!

It's a very satsfying feeling to have such a marathon behind me. The New Testament feels like a sprint finish by comparison.

I've published the complete Old Testament as a Kindle eBook for anyone interested:

The Old Testament

All 39 books of the Old Testament. Genesis to Malachi.

Kindle eBook. Buy from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk

The archive will always be here at the website.

And it's on to Matthew 1 tomorrow morning...

Summarising the New Testament seems like quite an engaging project in its own right. I'm more familiar with the content, but it's a very different kind of literature.

The Gospels have very long chapters so it's going to be a huge challenge deciding what to leave out. And then I've got to capture Paul's theology.

How am I going to fit Luke 15 or Romans 8 into 140 characters?

I guess we'll find out...

I can hardly believe it, but I'm going to finish the Old Testament tomorrow morning! It will be my 929th consecutive day of Bible Summary.

Which means, of course, that I'll be starting the New Testament on Friday morning.

This would be a great moment for new followers to join, so if you like the project please do spread the word.

Here's a press release: Bible Tweeter reaches the Gospels

Today's chapter - Obadiah 1 - could just be called 'Obadiah'. It's the first of the five single-chapter books in the Bible. (Can you name the others without looking it up?)

Summarising a whole book in one tweet feels even more audacious than the rest of the project. I spent an hour or so listening to Roger Forster's audio commentary this morning to help get the measure of it.

A fitting message for my fifth wedding anniversary? Hopefully not.

History's most unorthodox submariner is up tomorrow...
