Carol Harrison places Saint Augustine's theology in a new and
illuminating context by considering what he has to say about
beauty. She demonstrates how a theological understanding of beauty
revealed in the created, temporal realm enabled Augustine to form a
positive appreciation of this realm and the saving power of beauty
within it. It therefore reintroduces aesthetics alongside
philosophy and ethics in Augustine's treatment of God. Unlike
previous works, it shifts the emphasis away from Augustine's early
and most theoretical treatises to his mature reflections as a
bishop and pastor on how God communicates with fallen man. Using
his theory of language as a paradigm, it shows how divine beauty,
revealed in creation and history, serves to inspire fallen man's
faith, hope, and most especially his love - thereby reforming him
and restoring the form or beauty he had lost.
