Beauty

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of beauty and theology, this work engages with the fourth-century bishop Gregory of Nyssa's insights on beauty's significance in both spiritual and worldly contexts. It addresses the resurgence of beauty in theological discourse, questioning its perceived distractions from pressing issues like poverty and suffering. By juxtaposing Gregory's writings with contemporary thinkers such as J. M. Coetzee and Kaja Silverman, the book highlights the enduring relevance of beauty, fostering a dialogue that connects ancient wisdom with modern challenges.
