I agree with Andrew. These are the clearest, most forceful places to go.
Reformed Fellowship will be publishing my book,
In Living Color: Pastoral Counsel on Images of Jesus, in 2008. Details are and will continue to be
posted here. In this book I deal with PCA pastor, Jeffrey Myers' view that images may be used for art and education.
Pastor Hyde has written an excellent piece on a very misunderstood subject. Through effective combination of biblical, theological, and confessional discussions, he has presented the Reformed view of the second commandment in a winsome and attractive way. He helpfully emphasizes not the negative prohibition of making images of God but the positive facts that God has revealed himself now so generously in Word and Sacrament and will one day, at Christ’s return, reveal himself visibly in the most perfect and authentic way.
