About this listen
Pastors Adam Parker and Matthew Poole begin a two-part series on making images of Jesus. In this first episode, they approach the topic pastorally, sharing their own backgrounds with images of Christ in film, art, and church settings, and exploring why even well-intentioned depictions fall short. They discuss what the Westminster Larger Catechism teaches about the sins forbidden in the Second Commandment and make the case that images of Christ offer little practical benefit while training the mind on something invented rather than revealed. The next episode will take a deeper theological dive into why an image of Christ is an image of God and why making one leads inevitably into heresy.
