Description of the Different Products being Developed by the Oral Exegetical Tools Project
Overview Story (OS):<br/>The OS is a reproducible narrative which contains a shortened telling of the basic story of the book or part of the book in question. The overview stories relate the story in a way that translators can internalize it easily and quickly. These overviews can be used in a devotional context to give the translators a good mental picture of what is happening and to aid in connecting emotionally with the narrative. The overview also briefly mentions connections of the particular book to key Biblical concepts to help the translators understand how the KCS relate to this book.
