Stream or download the audio recording from this breakout session titled How Visual Theology Displays the Truth About God with Josh Byers and Tim Challies that was delivered at The Gospel Coalition’s 2019 National Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. The history of Christianity tells us that pictures can be instructive, powerful, and compelling. But they can also be troublesome or even dangerous. They can be used to help or to hinder our work in this world. They can be used to powerfully tell the truth or to strongly proclaim error. In this breakout, Tim discussed how we can bring words and pictures together to explain truth and to build-up Christians. That’s visual theology—displaying the truth about God.
