This book anchors its account of the beauty of Jesus Christ to a scheme found in St Augustine of Hippo's Expositions of the Psalms. There Augustine recognized the beauty of Christ at every stage-from his pre-existence ('beautiful in heaven'), through his incarnation, the public ministry ('beautiful in his miracles, beautiful in calling to life'), passion, crucifixion, burial, resurrection ('beautiful in taking up his life again'), and glorious life 'in heaven'. Augustine never filled out this laconic summary by writing a work on Christ and his beauty. The Beauty of Jesus Christ seems to be the first attempt in Christian history to write a comprehensive account of the beauty of Christ in the light of Augustine's list. The work begins by offering a working description of what it understands by beauty as being perfect, harmonious, and radiant. Beauty, above all the divine beauty, enjoys inexhaustible meaning and overlaps with 'the holy' or the awesome and fascinating mystery of God. Loving beauty opens the way to truth and helps us grasp and practise virtue. The books needs to add some items to Augustine's list by recognizing Christ's beauty in his baptism, transfiguration, and post-resurrection sending of the Holy Spirit. It also goes beyond Augustine by showing how the imagery and language Jesus prepared in his hidden life and then used in his ministry witness to the beautiful sensibility that developed during his years at home in Nazareth. Throughout, this book draws on the Scriptures to illustrate and justify Augustine's brief claims about the beauty revealed in the whole story of Christ, from his pre-existence to his risen 'post-existence'. Where appropriate, it also cites the witness to Christ's beauty that has come from artists, composers of sacred music, the creators of icons, and writers.

As I embark on this journey through the Holy Scriptures, it is Jesus Christ who stands at the center, the heart, the core of it all. From the book of Genesis to the Revelation of John, He is the thread that weaves together the grand tapestry of God's Word. My task is to illuminate His ever-present figure, to enhance your understanding, and to inspire an explosion of love for Jesus in your heart. In the New Testament alone, the personal mentions of Jesus are astounding. If one were to count, we would find that out of 7,957 verses, His name or His deeds are spoken of nearly 10,000 times. This number speaks volumes, for it stands as a testament to His significance, His centrality to our faith. Let's cast our minds back to the early church. The apostles and disciples, filled with the Holy Spirit, boldly preached the Good News. Yet, there was one name, one topic, that the religious leaders of the time forbade them to speak - the Name of Jesus! This, in itself, highlights the power and influence that the name of Jesus held then, as it continues to hold now. Our journey, as believers, culminates in a profound truth - to become more like Jesus Christ. As Paul wrote to the Romans in Romans 8:29, "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." This, dear reader, is our ultimate aspiration. The apostle Paul, in Ephesians 1:23, paints a beautiful picture of Christ's significance to us, saying, "Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all." Christ fills us completely; He is our All in All. And it is this profound love, this complete filling, that we must yearn for, that we must seek with all our hearts. As we venture forth in these pages, I invite you to journey with me. Let's explore the scriptures, illuminate the countless times Jesus is spoken of, and let this understanding ignite a spark within us. May this spark explode into a fervent love for Jesus Christ. For it is this love that transforms us, that makes us more like Him, that truly makes Jesus our All in All.

In this six-session small group Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Margaret Feinberg looks at six stories of beauty from the Gospel of John that illustrate how God's beauty is present in our lives. God created us to be drawn toward beauty--created us to pursue beauty so that we might know more about His character, attributes, and work in our world. Perhaps no book of the Bible paints a clearer picture of this than the Gospel of John. Throughout John's Gospel, the beauty of God radiates in the person of Jesus Christ--the one in whom God displayed His whole heart for the world to see. It's within the person of Jesus that we find the invisible attributes of God being made visible, on display like fine pieces of artwork--to be enjoyed, celebrated, and reflected on. Sessions include: Encountering Jesus (John 1 - 3) When God Sees through You (John 4 - 8) Recognizing the Blind Spots (John 9 - 11) When Worship Costs More than Expected (John 12 - 17) Mistakes that Refine Instead of Define (John 18 - 19) The Hope and Healing of Resurrection (John 20 - 21) Designed for use with the Pursuing God's Beauty Video Study (sold separately).

Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.

In today’s world we have technology, convenience, security, and a measure of prosperity, but where is the beauty? For thousands of years, artists, sages, philosophers, and theologians have connected the beautiful and the sacred and identified art with our longing for God. Now we live in a day when convenience and practicality have largely displaced beauty as a value. The church is no exception. Even salvation is commonly viewed in a scientific and mechanistic manner and presented as a plan, system, or formula. In Beauty Will Save the World, Brian Zahnd presents the argument that this loss of beauty as a principal value has been disastrous for Western culture, and especially for the church. The full message of the beauty of the gospel has been replaced by our desires to satisfy our material needs, to empirically prove our faith, and to establish political power in our world--the exact same things that Christ was tempted with and rejected in the wilderness. Zahnd shows that by following the teachings of the Beatitudes, the church can become a viable alternative to current-day political, commercial, and religious power and can actually achieve what these powers promise to provide but fail to deliver. Using stories from the lives of St. Francis of Assisi and from his own life, he teaches us to stay on the journey to discover the kingdom of God in a fuller, richer, more beautiful, way.
