The Beauty of Divine Perception

This chapter explores the relationship between beauty, nature, and theology through the insights of historical figures like Jonathan Edwards and Calvin. It critiques modern interpretations that oversimplify complex theological ideas and argues for the importance of aesthetic considerations in architecture, particularly in churches, as reflections of divine glory. The discussion emphasizes seeking eternal values and beauty for their own sake, as opposed to mere practicality, to foster true fulfillment and appreciation of God's creation.
