Story of the Bible Review
The Story of the Bible Review Set helps teachers tell the story of Jesus as “one beautiful whole” using a simple outline and engaging visuals.
It’s Here!
This has been a large project that has taken a substantial amount of time to put together, but it has blessed me in so many ways. It’s as the Latin proverb says,
“By learning, you will teach; By teaching, you will learn.”
What is the Story of the Bible Review Set?
It’s an aid to help teachers communicate the story of Jesus as “one beautiful whole” using a story of the Bible summary and engaging visuals. The Bible is a large collection of 66 books. However, we can share the story of the Bible in short with learners of any age.
Why is it important to Review?
So, in all subject areas, effective teaching requires repetition. A quick review of previous learning at the start of each lesson is one of the best ways to strengthen knowledge retention. This practice is not only about recalling information, it’s also about building a strong foundational knowledge that we can add to over time.
How does this fit into Bible teaching?
So, a quick review of the whole Bible story at the start of each lesson reinforces an understanding that our learners can build upon. I use the 17 Bible Time Periods as outlined by Bob and Sandra Waldron to frame my whole Bible story review. Our new knowledge can easily be added to previous knowledge as we continue learning more Bible stories, details, and context. When this occurs, our learners can “see” where the new information fits into the Bible story. This leads to a richer understanding of God’s beautiful, eternal plan.
The 17 Bible Time Periods Visuals
Additionally, it so important to engage our visual-learners. I use real-life photos in the background of the visuals to remind learners that these are TRUE events in REAL places. When possible, I use photos taken in the general area of where an event or time period took place. For example, a modern day photo overlooking an area in Jerusalem is used for the backdrop of the “United Kingdom” visual, and a modern day photo of the Appian Way is used as the background for the “Early Church” visual (Acts 28).
