This manual holds everything the host needs to begin exploring the Old Testament through the BRPG! The next step is to pick a biblical passage and begin working through the manual with that passage. Make sure to show proper biblical hermaneutics as outlined in “Getting Started and the Method for for Interpreting Scripture.” Once the passage is understood for what it is and for what it is not, the host can move to the next stage, theologically exploring the text, as seen in “Suggested Theological Resources.” When the host understands the theology surrounding the passage, they can acquire any physical materials needed for storytelling and engagement, as overviewed in “Other Suggested Materials.” Finally, the host is ready to play! Make sure to understand “Playing,” especially “Active Creative Storytelling.” Build upon each consecutive session with those players, use creativity, and grow together as students of the Old Testament.
As one final encouragement, remember: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, NKJV).
