Über dieses Buch

This book employs the thought of Robert W. Jenson to construct a dogmatic aesthetics, specifically the identification of God with beauty. Author Stephen John Wright argues that 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.
