Making Abstract Concepts Tangible

This issue explores how storying, relationships, and communal experience can make spiritual truth come alive for high-orality-reliant communities. It ranges from teaching the Trinity in Brazil’s Xingu region to Bible translation in Nigeria’s Ijebu dialect, from Biblical storytelling among Muslims in Oman and Tajikistan to chronological Bible storying among Tibetan Buddhists and Thai communities. Our contributors show that faithful, effective ministry most often does not begin with written materials, but with listening, presence, and the timeless power of story.
