Beauty Speaks - Softcover

How Christianity Provides the Most Convincing Explanation for Beauty

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” After spending time in nature or witnessing an awe-inducing phenomenon, it’s hard to believe that the feeling of beauty is merely a matter of personal preference developed over time. Proposing that beauty is not accidental or circumstantial, this book argues that it is a fundamental quality woven into the very fabric of our created world. 

Beauty Speaks shows how the Christian faith provides the most convincing explanation for the existence and experience of beauty. Divided into three thought-provoking yet accessible sections, author Bryan Baise explains a brief theology of beauty, explores how beauty discloses its presence, and highlights potential roadblocks to recognizing beauty in our world today—technology, a lack of play, and an inability to see the relationship between beauty and morality. Readers will gain a new perspective on this often forgotten apologetic—a lens through the eyes of their Creator, the one who made them beautiful in his image. 

• Practical Themes: Shows how beauty is meant to shape our faith and highlights its potential roadblocks to being recognized in our world today
