We live in a visual culture. Today, people increasingly rely upon visuals to help them understand new and difficult concepts. The rise and stunning popularity of the Internet infographic has given us a new way in which to convey data, concepts and ideas.
But the visual portrayal of truth is not a novel idea. Indeed, God himself used visuals to teach truth to his people. The tabernacle of the Old Testament was a visual representation of man's distance from God and God's condescension to his people. Each part of the tabernacle was meant to display something of man's treason against God and God's kind response. Likewise, the sacraments of the New Testament are visual representations of man's sin and God's response. Even the cross was both reality and a visual demonstration.

Visual Theology: Seeing and Understanding the Truth About God$39.99
Visual Theology is a brief overview of key doctrines, with the authors seeking to portray them diagramatically (or at least in an aesthetic way). While visually this is a breath of fresh air to most systematic volumes, it is a relatively surface treatment and may leave some readers in want. \\r\\nI'd recommend this for people wanting to get a taste of systematics to whet their appetites.
