Here is some Visual Theology that is both new and seasonal: An Advent reading calendar! By using this colorful calendar, you and your family can read your way toward Christmas. It includes daily readings from December 1 to December 24, with a “focus verse” for each day. It proceeds from The Need for a Savior,…
We are excited to announce a new Visual Theology wall print and t-shirt. It’s a simple but stylish rendition of Ephesians 4:32: “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” We made it because we need it–we need the constant reminder to be Christlike in our behavior. It…
Our collection of Visual Theology material continues to grow. Most recently we have added some beautiful and informational subway-style prints that may be of interest to you or to somebody on your holiday shopping list. There are three in the collection so far: Apostle’s Creed, Elder Qualifications, and Love Is. Apostle’s Creed. The Christian faith…
We recently produced two “new” visual theology posters that are really not new at all. Both were updates of posters created by Puritan authors John Bunyan and William Perkins. Here is Bunyan’s and here is Perkins’. Both of these men had attempted to provide a means of visual instruction showing how God saves his people…
I have pointed out before that the the whole notion of visual theology—of presenting truth visually—is far from new. To the contrary, people have been doing this all through the ages. A couple of weeks ago we shared an infographic based on one created centuries ago by John Bunyan. Today we’ve got a complementary graphic…
Of all the many requests we’ve had for infographics, none has been as consistent as the request for a visual presentation of the different views of the end times. And for good reason–it is a complicated and much-debated subject. Eager to please, we got to work on a graphic we’ve called “The End of the…
Though the name Visual Theology may be new, the idea is not. In fact, all the way back in the seventeenth century John Bunyan produced an incredible work of visual theology titled “A Map Shewing the Order and Causes of Salvation and Damnation.” In a pair of side-by-side timelines he traced the salvation of the…
It’s one of our favorite stories from the era of the Judges. God’s people are being oppressed by Midian and God has chosen an unlikely man to be their deliverer. Gideon is going to smash the Midianite army, but lest there be any doubt who is ultimately responsible for the victory, the Lord speaks with…
In Exodus 25:8-9 the Lord gives this extraordinary command to Moses and the people of Israel: “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.” This chapter and the four that follow are devoted to…
I am excited to announce that you can now teach through Visual Theology the book with the official Visual Theology Presentation Slides! We took every single graphic in the book and customized it for display in a teaching or preaching presentation. We didn’t just simply resize the graphics either. Every single graphic was re-worked and…
It has been a little while since I’ve provided an update on Visual Theology (the book) as well as new Visual Theology posters and graphics. It is time to remedy that! As you know, Visual Theology (the book) rapidly sold out of its initial printings and it took a few weeks for the printer to…
It was a week ago today that we released my new book Visual Theology: Seeing and Understanding the Truth About God (which, of course, I co-authored with Josh Byers). Now, just a week later, it’s out of stock at Amazon, Westminster Books, Lifeway, CBD, and pretty well every other bookseller. I’ve had a number of…
As you know, my book Visual Theology: Seeing and Understanding the Truth About God is set for an April release. The release date matches up with the Together for the Gospel conference and for that reason Zondervan has decided to host a Visual Theology event. If you are coming to T4G, you are invited to…
The New Testament contains at least 40 passages that contain the words “one another.” Each one of these points to a way that Christians are to treat, or are not to treat, each other. As Josh Byers and I prepare for the release of our book Visual Theology: Seeing and Understanding the Truth About God…
A few years ago I began rolling out a series of infographics I called Visual Theology. I was attempting to not only describe truth, but also to display it in visual form. Over the past few months I have been working with Josh Byers to create a whole new series of Visual Theology graphics. Some…
A new year is fast approaching and with it 365 366 (leap year!) opportunities for daily devotions. That makes this the time to plan what you will do in the year ahead. As is the case in so many areas of life, those who plan do. The reason so many of us fail to be…
When it comes to great resources to explore and explain the Bible, we of all people and all generations are abundantly blessed. We have available to us a wealth of incredible books, commentaries, atlases, and reference works. And, of course, we have study Bibles which combine all of these elements. In this infographic we explore…
I don’t think anyone could have predicted that in the twenty-first century the old doctrine of Calvinism would suddenly experience a great resurgence. Yet this is exactly what has happened. The New Calvinism, or the Young, Restless, Reformed, has been highlighted in platforms as diverse as Christianity Today and TIME as one of the ideas…
Tomorrow marks R.C. Sproul’s 75th birthday, and in honor of his birthday, Josh Byers and I have prepared an infographic about his life and ministry. This is part of a just-for-fun series of infographics we’ve prepared about some of our favorite people: John MacArthur, John Piper and, now, R.C. Sproul. Enjoy it! A couple of…
