Beauty Matters

Creation, new creation, & aesthetic awareness

N.T. Wright believes beauty matters. I agree.

I believe that taking creation and new creation seriously is the way to understand and revitalize aesthetic awareness and perhaps even creativity among Christians today. Beauty matters, dare I say, almost as much as spirituality and justice.

— N.T. Wright, On Earth as in Heaven: Daily Wisdom for Twenty-First Century Christians (New York: HarperCollins, 2022)
