Visual Exegesis: Vol. I

By Chris Powers

"Exegesis," or the process of unfolding a text's original meaning, often refers to the work of a pastors as he seeks to understand a passage of scripture in order to preach it to his congregation. However, in "Visual Exegesis" the artist steps into the pulpit, as it were, and attempts to unfold a passage's meaning through image rather than word.In this book we will look at 34 full color digital drawings and examine how specific verses, doctrines, and biblical themes are expressed in each one. Image will always be the servant of word when it comes to the communication of the gospel of the glory of Jesus Christ, and Visual Exegesis is no exception. These pictures exist to point readers to the Triune God of the Bible as He has supremely revealed Himself to us in Jesus Christ.If the mental tethers forged between the text of scripture and the imagery found in this book can serve to deepen your understanding and love for God's word (and the God of the word), I will be very happy indeed.
