The Prerogative of Beauty
Published 11 years, 9 months ago
Description
"One thing have I desired...to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord." -Psalm 27:4
"It is the prerogative and charm of beauty to win hearts." -Don Quixote
In the modern age Christian apologetic and ethics -- defending truth and defining good -- have been very prominent. Christan aesthetics, on the other hand, has been largely ignored. But we may have reached the point where it is now chiefly the prerogative of beauty to win hearts. When arguing about the truth and shouting about what is good have failed, it is beauty that has enough charm to draw people to Jesus Christ.
