What does a Deaf Bible look like and why is it necessary?

When one uses the word “Bible” one usually thinks of a book. The Deaf Bible is not translated in a written or textual format. Many spoken languages use a written record to preserve and pass down His message. Prior to the printing press, and even today in some countries, information, history, narratives, and poems are passed down orally with great precision. Deaf Bible translators use  a process that results in not a written record, but a filmed or video record. Instead of pages in a book the Deaf Bible is a series of videos of Deaf people rendering God’s message into the natural language of the Deaf.
