Psalm 103:2-5 pretty much sums it up: “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” His heart for a relationship with us continues to astound me daily it just oozes love, grace, and mercy! I chose to use the theme of God’s love and his commitment to a relationship with us for several reasons, not least because it mirrors my own journey and experience of God. Karen Sawrey: Many themes could be used when describing the ‘big picture’ of the Bible. Why have you chosen the theme of restored relationship to tell the Bible’s big picture?
It is an invitation for the audience to interact with God’s life-giving Word in a fun and relevant way, no matter where they are in their journey with God. Its intent is always to point back to Scripture. It does not cover every book, nor is it a replacement for the Bible. The Infographic Bible does not simply illustrate the biblical text. The Infographic Bible’s aim is to do both: to create a visual image and support it with text that can be understood by anyone that picks up the book. Jesus spoke in parables, creating images to help his audience to understand and remember the essence of his message and Paul chose to write in the street language of the day. A global visual language is quickly becoming the currency of communication for this generation and research has shown that combining visuals with text astronomically improves communication and learning. Karen Sawrey: I’ve had the honor of spending the last five years working on The Infographic Bible, by far the hardest piece of work I’ve completed in my career, but, of course, the most incredible! My hope is that it’s a blessing to many, as it’s been written with a millennial audience in mind. What is The Infographic Bible and who is it for? Karen Sawrey: The Collins English Dictionary has a great explanation already prepared for me: “A graph, diagram, or other visual image designed to present complex information in an easily understandable form.”
In today’s world, infographics are one more way to share that message.īible Gateway interviewed Karen Sawrey ( about The Infographic Bible: Visualising the Drama of God’s Word (Zondervan, 2018), the 2019 Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards bronze award winner in the category of Arts, Entertainment, and Culture.
Hand-painted illumination, illustrations, fine art have all helped make Scripture more quickly accessible to the common person.
For centuries, visual imagery has been used to communicate the textual stories and teachings of the Bible.
