Chronological Bible Translation • American Sign Language (ase)

A version of the Bible designed specifically for Deaf communities, presented in their heart sign language (such as American Sign Language). Instead of following the traditional book-by-book order, CBT arranges key biblical passages in chronological sequence—from creation in Genesis through the life of Jesus and beyond. Its main goals are: Clarity and Context: Each passage is accompanied by introductions and explanatory videos to provide cultural and historical background. Narrative Focus: It emphasizes stories that explain God’s plan of salvation, helping viewers understand how the events fit together as one continuous story. Accessibility: Delivered in video format using sign language, making Scripture visually and linguistically accessible for Deaf individuals who may not read written languages fluently.The ASL CBT, for example, includes about 119 key narratives from Genesis to Revelation, serving as a foundational resource for those unfamiliar with the Bible. It’s widely used by Deaf ministries for evangelism and discipleship
