Chronological Bible Storying

Chronological Bible Storying (CBS) is an oral evangelism technique. When using CBS, the speaker tells the scriptural narrative from Genesis to Revelation in the historic order of events. CBS narratives may include anywhere from 10 to 40 Bible stories, but they generally focus on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. As a missions or evangelism tool, CBS does not utilize written scripture. Many organizations prefer storying when reaching a society that does not have a written language or is an “oral culture,” because it does not require investing in literacy training or the challenges of orthography.
