Description
"Late have I loved you, Beauty so ancient and so new!" Throughout history, theologians and artists have echoed Augustine's famous cry, experiencing beauty as a revelation of God's own nature. But what does it mean to understand God as Beauty itself? And how does the beauty of created things, including our fellow human beings, direct us back to God? Join us as we develop and consider the implications of a robust theology of beauty.
