Description:
The tall steeple of a cathedral pierces the dark skies of Hamburg, Germany. On a quiet morning, the sunrise paints the rocks in a Japanese Zen garden. For passersby from different cultures, these structures bring to mind many different emotions -- some pleasurable, some striking, and others heartbreaking. But this is just the tip of the broad meaning of aesthetics, especially the religious dimensions of aesthetic value.
Expand description
In "Sensing Beauty," John Eusden and John Westerhoff present a view of aesthetics and Christianity that is an alternative to the movements of post-modernity. Going beyond philosophical conundrums, their work probes what aesthetics has to say about beauty and truth, inviting readers to understand concepts, then to engage in discussions on the effect of aesthetics on the human spirit, and the aesthetic dimensions of the church. A great insight into the virtues and values of life, this work encompasses the passion and skill of a variety of generations and cultures.
