Jonathan King (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is Lecturer at Faculty of Liberal Arts at the Universitas Pelita Harapan in Indonesia.
"The Beauty of the Lord is a tour de force in contemporary
theological aesthetics. Dr. Jonathan King not only integrates
theology and aesthetics in a brilliant way but also offers a
compelling and inspiring work that qualitatively expands and
enriches our understanding and vision of the God of the Bible.
Captivated by his arguments, attention to detail, and logical and
theological acuity, I found myself worshiping God as I turned each
page. Thank you, Dr. King!"--Paul Shockley, Professor of
Philosophy, Theology, and Bible at the College of Biblical
Studies-Houston and Lecturer of Philosophy, Multidisciplinary
Programs, Stephen F. Austin State University
"This is the kind of theology that edifies the church. While many
theoretical discussions about certain far-flung doctrines may be
hard to relate to the everyday life of the Christian, this
discussion of God's beauty is different. Sound doctrine is always
salutary, but it does not always stir the heart. By way of
contrast, this study of the beauty of the Lord aims not only to
give the reader right understanding, but also right heartedness: a
right perspective on and a passion for the fittingness of God's
plan of redemption."--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor of
Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"Truth and goodness are essential, but-in contrast with our
forebears-beauty seems to have been marginalized in modern Reformed
and evangelical theology. This volume is therefore a serious
contribution, filling a lacuna in our systematic theology. Grounded
in the triune Beauty, revealed consummately in Christ, and informed
by Balthasar and other major interpreters of the catholic
tradition, The Beauty of the Lord carves out its own unique place
in reflection on theological aesthetics. A feast for the soul, this
book will transform the way we think about God and his
works."--Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic
Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
