"What an honor it must be" preached Edwards, "to a creature who is infinitely below God, and less than he, to be beautified and adorned with this beauty, with that beauty which is the highest beauty of God himself, even holiness."

This is a book with weight to it. I think it will be very good for me.
"By nature we are sinners in the hands of an angry God. But by grace, we are saints in the hands of a beautiful God."
"The resplendent beauty of God is the sunshine in which every aspect of Christian living blossoms: love, joy, prayer, obedience, and all the rest are given brightness and life."

"To become a Christian is to become alive to beauty. This is the contribution to Christianity that Jonathan Edwards makes and no one has made better."
I think Dr. Munson would like this book already.

"Gods beauty happifies us. It nestles us into joy. Seeing him -apprehending with the eyes of the heart his lovely holiness -we are changed. Edwards even argues... That the reason no one can see God and live is not God's wrath or justice, but because "God is arrayed with an infinite brightness"that " fills with excess of joy and delight," so that "the joy and pleasure in beholding would be too strong for a frail nature."
