Beauty (and the Banana)

Arts & Literature

“Beauty (and the Banana) takes the reader on a skillfully guided journey through many facets of the study of beauty. Seen through the lens of aesthetics, philosophy's interpretations over the centuries, and theology and biblical insights, we see how our perception of beauty has been shaped. This book takes us past the superficial understanding that beauty is purely subjective, recognizing it as innate, intelligent, and transcendent. Beauty is informed and infused with God, his person, and his handiwork most beautifully reflected in the person of Christ. A must-read for those interested in art.”

With its Christian perspective deeply rooted in Scripture, this book offers a redemptive model for those in art and theology.”

The Saint John’s Bible and Its Tradition

Arts & Literature

“This book refocuses our attention on how a stunningly illuminated Bible, such as The Saint John’s Bible, encourages us to meditate more carefully, look more closely, and SEE Scripture in the light of its eternal beauty. A very thoughtful collection of essays makes this a valuable resource.”
