The very fact \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat the problem of God's Beauty will be discussed indicates a Christian standpoint. The \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eonus and scope of this book is focused upon the human experience of beauty, thereby \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etrying to build on the reflections of this experience. The idea of God's Beauty will \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereinforce the assumption that beauty is of an objective nature and that it exists \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eautonomously, whether it is perceived by human beings or not. It can be objected, of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecourse, that such an ideal of beauty does not coincide with the Christian conception of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod, and that both are entirely separate entities. This question will not be answered here \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebecause our goal is not to prove the reality of God or to define His essence. Our sole \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eburden and task is to examine the relation between beauty and good, and then to point to \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esome possible connections between beauty and the Christian conceptualization of God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHence, our approach will be mainly philosophical. However, it will refer to some \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheological arguments and will refer to specific passages from the Holy Bible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreover, finally, the book will not deal exhaustively with all dimensions of art. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will not analyze the historical development of art. Our topic is beauty as seen from a \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ephilosophical standpoint, with some references to theology. Beauty is well-represented in \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eart. However, an in-depth analysis of beauty in art is not needed here.
