    John

    The Gospel of Mark. It is the easiest to understand, and if you read it in one go (2.5-3 hours maybe), it reads like a simple story told around a campfire.

    Many suggest John, but, his Gospel has a lot of deep Theological ideas. Excellent reading, but, not for a beginner.

    Source(s): Degree in Theology. Studied them all!

    Many like John. I love Pauls letters. Check out The Message online. The bible comes alive!

    The Gospel of John. John's Gospel is written from a very personal point of view regarding the Savior's life.

    I always suggest they start out with the Gospels. Mark is relatively easy to understand.
