Remember that during the early Christian years and Middle Ages, most people weren't literate. The churches, the statues, the windows, the monks and priests told and taught the Bible stories. The invention of the printing press by Gutenberg (and the more rapid duplication of books, including Bibles) was one of the primary factors that changed this:
