Visual Theology presents the essentials of Christian doctrine and the Christian life using charts, diagrams and infographics alongside the text. Tim Challies supplies the writing and Josh Byers the design, working through growing close to Christ, understanding the work of Christ, putting off sin and putting on righteousness, and living for God's glory, with the visual material carrying genuine explanatory weight rather than decorating the page.

The book suits readers who find dense theological prose hard going, younger believers, and teachers looking for ways to present doctrine to visual learners. The diagrams are also useful on their own for teaching, and the approach makes this a good first theology book for someone who would not pick up a systematic theology.
