This-Worldly Aesthetics. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

This-Worldly Aesthetics.

Rating: 5.0


The idea of beauty,
had been reduced
to that of a merely
this-worldly aesthetics.

But theological aesthetics
teaches us that the beauty
is of God's glory.

The beauty of the
divine being has
disappeared from
theological discourse.

The attainment of
independent status
of aesthetics,
compartmentalizing
it from the
transcendentals,
had a negative
consequence of
insulating it
from a holistic
understanding
of theology.

Too bad that the concept has changed, but times run further and further into the future and so the basic concepts we know from the Bible change. The Dutch language is also changing, what we found to be grammatical errors,

Theologically love and beauty are the gifts of god and so beauty is divine. Beautifying is service of God. We cannot seperate Truth, God and beauty. They are inter-related. Thank you dear Dr. Tony
