In Living Color effectively addresses one doctrine that increasingly is being discarded—the scriptural and confessional rejection of man-made images of Christ. “In these pages, Danny Hyde argues with great clarity against all images of Jesus as man-made media. He shows that all such images are abominated in Scripture and roundly rejected by the Reformed confessional heritage without exception.
