Chronological Bible Storying

Introduction

Introduction

Chronological Bible Storying (CBS) is the process of encountering God by telling the stories of the Bible. In CBS we tell Bible stories without interruption or comment and we tell them in the order that they happened in time. Afterward we discuss each story and its significance for our lives. Each story builds on those that came before; as a result, the overarching message of the Bible becomes clear and we discover our own place in God's story.

If you have noticed a change in our site, do not be alarmed. Let us explain why we changed some things.

Oral cultures use many means of communicating. Stories, poetry, music, proverbs, drama, ceremonies, and the visual arts are some of the main ones. In addition, they often enjoy electronic media like radio, audio recordings, and film.

Since chronological Bible storying is only one strategy of the many orality strategies, we are simply expanding horizons by bringing you here. All of the story sets, case studies, instruction manuals, and other resources found on our old site can still be found here.

From this page you can explore how to use the varied means for communicating with people who prefer non-print communication. There is a tab for the Deaf because they also prefer non-print communication, sign language. Through the pages on the right you will find access to a wealth of resources, including an excellent collection of CBS resources.

Explore. Enjoy. Then, let us know what you think by joining the dialogue.
