This book offers a visually engaging introduction to systematic theology, making complex biblical truths accessible and inspiring for today's readers.
In a world that increasingly relies on visual aids to grasp complex ideas, this book stands out as a refreshing approach to understanding systematic theology. Tim Challies and Josh Byers combine engaging illustrations with clear explanations to present biblical truths in a manner that resonates with today’s visual culture. This unique method not only enhances comprehension but also invites readers to explore the depths of their faith more vibrantly.
The authors focus on four foundational disciplines that are essential to the Christian life: growing close to Christ, understanding His work, becoming like Him, and living for Him. Each section is thoughtfully crafted to ensure that readers can connect with these concepts on both an intellectual and emotional level. By utilizing visuals alongside textual descriptions, readers can better grasp the significance of these timeless truths, making theology accessible to a broader audience.
As a resource, it serves as both an introduction to systematic theology and a guide for spiritual growth. The artful presentation encourages readers to see and celebrate the reality of their faith in a new light. This book is not just about understanding theology; it’s about experiencing it in a way that inspires and transforms. Challies and Byers have created a compelling tool for believers, making it easier to navigate the complexities of Christian doctrine in a visually engaging format.
My mind is blown. Tim Challies and Josh Byers marry rock-ribbed Reformational theology with breathtaking presentations. The effect is something like following John Knox into the Matrix. In this diaphanous world, we encounter no fiction, but very reality itself--God-reality-- and we are transformed. * Owen Strachan, associate professor of Christian theology and director of the Center on Gospel and Culture at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary *
This is simple yet profound, clever without being flashy. Helpful and practical. Speaking as a person who avoids diagrams and graphs at all costs, I found the infographics in this book to be illuminating. This cheeky little number is a class act. * Mez McConnell, pastor of Niddrie Community Church, Edinburgh, and director of 20schemes *
Tim Challies (the writer) and Josh Byers (the designer) have teamed up to produce a truly unique introduction to theology and guide to living the Christian life. This is show-and tell at its finest. Most theology books merely convey what we are to believe, but this one uses creative and beautiful design to capture and portray these crucial truths. I know of nothing else quite like it, and I trust that God will use it to help his people see and celebrate reality in a new way. * Justin Taylor, managing editor of the ESV Study Bible and coauthor of The Final Days of Jesus *
You've probably seen (or used) a gospel presentation drawn on a whiteboard or a napkin. It's remarkable how God gives us spiritual insight when we behold truths about him with our eyes. With engaging graphics and descriptions of the Christian faith, Tim Challies and Josh Byers have done something genuinely unique in Visual Theology. See for yourself! * Gloria Furman, author of Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full and The Pastor’s Wife *
