The beauty of the infinite

Book • 2003
In 'The Beauty of the Infinite,' David Bentley Hart critiques modern theology and ethics, proposing a return to a more classical, Christocentric vision.

He argues against the reduction of God to a mere ethical principle or a feature of human consciousness.

Hart champions a vision of God as transcendent, infinite, and beautiful, drawing heavily on the Church Fathers and Eastern Orthodox theology.

The book challenges readers to reconsider the nature of God, the relationship between faith and reason, and the possibility of a truly Christian ethics.

It is a complex work that seeks to overcome the impasses of contemporary theological discourse.
