Beauty and Sensibility in the Thought of Jonathan Edwards

Theology

“The thesis of Roland Delattre's book is that Beauty is fundamental to Edwards' understanding of "being," whether Divine or human. Delattre shows how an appreciation of Beauty is fundamental to Edwards' epistemology and to his awareness of the relationship between Nature and the Divine. The book is now a classic and has influenced many contemporary scholars, such as Marsden who wrote a recent biography of Jonathan Edwards. It belongs in every collection of Edwards scholarship and is one of the seminal works in the field.”
