Evangelical Theological Aesthetics: A Theology of Beauty and Perception

By Ryan Currie

What is beauty? Hans Urs von Balthasar famously critiqued Protestantism for lacking a theology of beauty. But is this critique accurate? This book develops theological aesthetics from an evangelical Protestant perspective. The primary dialogue partner is Balthasar, but Currie also shows the development of theological aesthetics in the history of theology. Currie explores the relationship of beauty and glory and the spiritual sense and the physical senses. Theological aesthetics is not esoteric but profoundly shapes the believer's perception of God through faith and generates a beautiful life.
