Evangelists of Art PictureSermons for Children

Evangelists of Art: Picture Sermons for Children by James Patrick is a unique blend of religious teaching and art appreciation aimed at introducing children to both the moral messages of Christianity and the beauty of visual art. The book presents a series of picture sermons each focusing on a specific religious lesson or moral theme illustrated through well-known works of art. Patrick uses these artworks as a medium to communicate spiritual truths and ethical lessons to young readers making the teachings more relatable and visually engaging. The book highlights how art can be a powerful tool for conveying the teachings of the Bible emphasizing the moral and inspirational stories found in religious history. Each chapter is structured around a particular artwork explaining its significance and connecting it to a broader lesson about kindness charity faith or courage. Patrick’s intent is to show how art can serve as a sermon in itself offering both religious and cultural education to children.
