Colecciones de historias bíblicas para aprendices orales

Afinar una historia con un problema de visión del mundo

Una historia puede hablar más fuertemente que un sermón sobre la visión de Dios sobre cuestiones culturales. Estas historias hacen coincidir una verdad bíblica con una barrera cultural o de cosmovisión:

God's Promise to Abraham Illustrates God's relationship with man — He is not distant and unknowable
Los Diez Mandamientos Ilustra que Dios es Santo
Saúl en Endor Illustrates the evil of witchcraft and consulting mediums, and God's view of these things
Abraham es puesto a prueba Ilustra sacrificio de sangre
Elías es alimentado por los cuervos Ilustra que Dios es nuestro Proveedor
Solomon's Dream Ilustra la importancia de los sueños
Se Encuentra el Libro de la Ley Illustrates idolatry and God's view of idols made by man
Naamán Sanado de Lepra Ilustra la sanación y el poder de Dios
El Becerro de Oro Illustrates idolatry and God's hatred of idolatry
El hijo pródigo Ilustra el perdón
La Historia de Lázaro Ilustra el poder de Dios
Pablo en Atenas Ilustra la naturaleza religiosa de ciertas culturas
Ladrillos sin paja Illustrates oppression and social caste — God's view of equality
Peter's Vision on Food Illustrates God's view on food taboos

Idea de actividad: no des las respuestas — asigna las historias a parejas y deja que cada pareja descubra qué barrera, qué problema cultural o qué verdad bíblica aborda cada historia, y cómo podría ayudar a cambiar la cosmovisión.
