What did the plaque the artist made look like?
The plaque was an odd-looking little duck with its head cocked to one side, and it displayed the question 'faith plus nothing?' It served as a visual reminder of the contrast between faith plus nothing and the faith plus something that most of Christendom teaches.
Les explains that a lady in his Macalester class, who was an artist, was bamboozled by the teaching of faith plus nothing when she first came in. She made a little plaque for him. It depicted an odd-looking little duck with its head cocked, and it bore the question, 'faith plus nothing?' Les uses this to illustrate how most people react to the idea of faith plus nothing, as 90% of Christendom insists on faith plus something. The plaque captured that bewilderment and the stark contrast of Paul's gospel.
