Item Description...
This book places Saint Augustine's theology in a new and illuminating context by considering what he has to say about beauty. It demonstrates how a theological understanding of beauty revealed in the created, temporal realm enabled Augustine to form a positive appreciation of this realm and the healing power within it. It therefore reintroduces aesthetics alongside philosophy and ethics in Augustine's treatment of God. Unlike previous works, it shifts the emphasis away from Augustine's early and most theoretical treatises to his mature reflection as a bishop and pastor on how God communicates with fallen man. Using his theory of language as a paradigm, it shows how divine beauty, revealed in creation and history, serves to inspire fallen man's faith, hope, and most especially his love--thereby reforming him and restoring the form or beauty he had lost.

Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | A great contribution to theological aesthetics Jun 14, 2000 |
| Dostoyevsky once wrote that beauty will save the world. Carol Harrison's remarkable study demonstrates that such an emphasis on beauty is no less a critical element of St Augustine's theology. Not only does her book solidly establish the relevance of aesthetics in Augustinian theology, it also provides an excellent point of departure for thinking about the significance of beauty in Late Antiquity more generally. For this reason, Beauty and Revelation will be interesting to students of Late Antiquity and anyone who wishes to learn more about the multifaceted Doctor of the Church. | | | Write your own review about Beauty and Revelation in the Thought of Saint Augustine (Oxford Theological Monographs)
