Picture-Work

The author offers practical guidance for using visual material in religious education, proposing pictures as a remedy for commonplace Sunday-school shortcomings. He surveys types of illustrative work and shows how to select and use picture-books, develop stories and storytelling, and organize cooperative study. He sets out first principles—unity, reality, and order—explaining how images can focus a single aim, make lessons feel real, and impose sequence. Chapters address how teachers learn the method, what supportive materials to use, and common pitfalls of superficial or false illustrative practice, with recommendations for thoughtful, experiential preparation.
