Paperback. Zustand: New. International. Nature is so beautiful it must mean something. Christians have seen in the beauty of creation a sign of the beauty of the Creator; the natural world teaches us to know the "author of beauty." But anyone who starts thinking more seriously about beauty soon runs into more troubling aspects.We're more awash with images than ever before, many of them doctored or artificial. Any idealized beauty that excludes humankind's imperfection and vulnerability is prone to becoming inhuman. And even the wholesome beauty of nature or the fine arts is only a partial truth in a world where children starve or are trafficked to abusers. Yet stubbornly, beauty remains. Through trees, gargoyles, paintings, and fellow humans, the writers in this issue ask hard questions to deepen our understanding and appreciation of the good, the true, and the beautiful.On this theme:Natalie Carnes revisits Christianity's love-hate relationship with sacred art: Are those icons or idols?Brandon Vaidyanathan says his mother's mental illness changed the way he sees human beauty.Sean Rubin tells how his mother found Jesus at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Sergio Bermudez views Paris from the perspective of Notre-Dame Cathedral's grotesques and gargoyles.Cardinal Christoph Schönborn reflects on Michaelangelo's Last Judgement during a conclave.Ben Quash looks at how beauty has shaped Christian imagination, from Absalom's hair to English gardens.Philip Holsinger sees the future of El Salvador in one bright, carefree child.Caitrin Keiper searches for meaning in the loss of her unborn baby.Chris Voll profiles a sculptor who left a promising career to care for his dying father.Also in this issue:Six new poems by Wendell Berry.Paul Kingsnorth offers six ways to resist the Machine.The Bruderhof's rule about gossip was written in 1925.
