Evangelists of Art: Picture-Sermons for Children

The book invites young listeners into a world where great works of art become living lessons about the Bible. Each chapter pairs a celebrated painting—by the likes of Holman Hunt, Lord Leighton, or G.F. Watts—with a short, reverent narrative that explains the scene in simple, child‑friendly language. As the images are described, listeners are encouraged to notice colour, detail, and the emotions that the artists poured into their canvases.

Among the stories told are the curious boy found in the Temple, Luther’s bold stand in Erfurt, and Hercules wrestling with death—each rendered vivid by the original artwork’s composition. The narration weaves together historical background, the symbolism hidden in brushstrokes, and gentle moral reflections that resonate with children today. By listening, young ears not only learn familiar biblical episodes but also develop an appreciation for the beauty and devotion that artists have long expressed through paint.
