Description

Explores the roots of Reformed theology, and argues that while the churches are bereft of imagery and colour, other visual forms were encouraged, especially in areas of popular culture and the ordering of family and community. It created a new aesthetic of simplicity, inwardness and order to express underlying theological commitments.
