The identification of God with beauty is one of the most
aesthetically rich notions within Christian thought. However, this
claim is often at risk of becoming untethered from core Christian
theological confessions. To avoid a theological account of beauty
becoming a mere projection of our wildest desires, it must be
reined in by dogmatics. To make this case, this book employs the
thought of Robert W. Jenson to construct a dogmatic aesthetics.
Jenson's whole theological program is directed by exploring the
systematic potential of the core doctrines of the faith that
finally opens out into a vast vision of the beauty of God and
creatures: "God is a great fugue...the rest is music." Taking
Jenson's cue, the account of beauty presented in this book is
propelled by a core conviction of Jenson's theology: the sole
analogue between God and creatures is not "being" or any other
metaphysical concept, but Jesus Christ.
