In this episode Caleb discusses the relationship between Christ's divine beauty and regeneration and faith with Samuel Parkison (PHD, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) via Parkison's new book, Irresistible Beauty: Beholding Triune Glory in the Face of Jesus Christ. In this conversation, an important argument is made for appreciating the aesthetic dimension of saving faith and how it compels faith-filled worship of the living God as delight in and desire for true beauty.
