God calls humans to be creative. The human drive to represent
transcendent truths witnesses to the fact that we are destined to
be transfigured and to transfigure the world. It is worth asking,
then, what truthful representations, whether in art, spirituality,
or theology, teach us about the one who is our truth, the one who
made us and the one in whose image we are made. All Things
Beautiful: An Aesthetic Christology is an experimental and
constructive aesthetic Christology sourced by close readings of a
wide array of artistic works, canonical and popular-including
poems, films, essays, novels, plays, short stories, sculptures,
icons, and paintings-as well as art criticism and passages from the
Christian Scriptures. From first to last, these readings engage in
conversation with the deep, broad wisdom of the Christian
theological tradition. The liturgical calendar guides the themes of
the book, beginning with Advent and Christmas; carrying through
Epiphany, Ash Wednesday, Lent, Good Friday, Easter, and Ascension;
and ending with Pentecost and Ordinary Time. Chris Green brings
together these readings to create a mosaic-like impression of Jesus
as the one through whom God graces and gives nature to all things,
his life and death redeeming the whole creation, including human
creativity and artistic endeavor, and transfiguring it into the
full, free flourishing that God has purposed. This vision of Christ
holds promise for artists and theologians, as well as preachers and
teachers, revealing how our compulsions to create-and the meanings
with which we endow our creations-become a site of the Spirit's
presence, opening us to the goodness and wildness of God.
