It may be asked whether the present book is of theological nature. The very fact that the problem of God's Beauty will be discussed indicates a Christian standpoint. The onus and scope of this book is focused upon the human experience of beauty, thereby trying to build on the reflections of this experience. The idea of God's Beauty will reinforce the assumption that beauty is of an objective nature and that it exists autonomously, whether it is perceived by human beings or not. It can be objected, of course, that such an ideal of beauty does not coincide with the Christian conception of God, and that both are entirely separate entities. This question will not be answered here because our goal is not to prove the reality of God or to define His essence. Our sole burden and task is to examine the relation between beauty and good, and then to point to some possible connections between beauty and the Christian conceptualization of God. Hence, our approach will be mainly philosophical. However, it will refer to some theological arguments and will refer to specific passages from the Holy Bible. Moreover, finally, the book will not deal exhaustively with all dimensions of art. It will not analyze the historical development of art. Our topic is beauty as seen from a philosophical standpoint, with some references to theology. Beauty is well-represented in art. However, an in-depth analysis of beauty in art is not needed here. Let us leave this for art experts.
