Abstract

Adult educators in the church who teach early through late elementary children can learn the theology, theory, and skills of biblical storytelling complemented by a theoretical base about children's religious potential. The project's method of study examines the function of narrative theology to biblical story and storytelling with the church being the primary educational setting for children to learn and to experience the biblical stories of faith. A theoretical base discussing children's religious thinking lays the foundation for biblical storytelling as one paradigm for shaping Christian growth in children. Two methods for skills development in storytelling for adults are presented. Complete lessons plans for workshops using the project's research as reference are outlined. Suggested evaluation techniques for workshops are discussed. Small group work with children and program ideas are also presented. A critique of a storytelling workshop with evaluation about the workshop and its usefulness for training adults in the local church is offered.
