The term ‘Chronological Bible Storying’ is a specialized term that not only involves telling the stories of the Bible in chronological order but it also involves a strategy for using these stories for evangelism, church planting and training up leaders to carry on the mission of leading the church and multiplying churches without making literacy a prerequisite for such leadership. Of course this approach also serves very well in bringing God’s Big Story to those who do learn by reading.
Oral learners (those who don’t read to learn, but learn by hearing) learn best through stories and they are usually quite good at remembering treasured stories very well. With CBS each story is bridged to the next story. This stitches the stories together to form the big story of the Bible. In this way an oral learner is able to remember many stories because each story contains a reminder of the coming story. In this way they will be able to share the Great Story with others. For those called to leadership and church planting they will be able to clearly bring sound biblical understanding to those they lead through this chronological storytelling approach.
