'Aesthetics' and 'theological aesthetics' usually imply a focus on
questions about the arts and how faith or religion relates to the
arts; only the final pages of this work take up that problem. The
central theme of this book is that of beauty. Farley employs a new
typology of western texts on beauty and a theological analysis of
the image of God and redemption to counter the centuries-long
tendency to ignore or marginalize beauty and the aesthetic as part
of the life of faith. Studying the interpretation of beauty in
ancient Greece, eighteenth-century England, the work of Jonathan
Edwards, and nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophies of human
self-transcendence, the author explores whether Christian
existence, the life of faith, and the ethical exclude or require an
aesthetic dimension in the sense of beauty. The work will be of
particular interest to those interested in Christian theology,
ethics, and religion and the arts.
