Jesus Christ is God come to dwell among humans, to be, to speak, and to act for the life of the world (John 6:51). Taking its mandate from the character and mission of God, Christian theologys task is to discern, articulate, and commend visions of flourishing life in light of Gods self-revelation in Jesus Christ. The Theology for the Life of the World series features texts that do just that.
Human life is diverse and multifaceted, and so will be the books in this series. Some will focus on one specific aspect of life. Others will elaborate expansive visions of human persons, social life, or the world in relation to God. All will share the conviction that theology is vital to exploring the character of true life in diverse settings and orienting us toward it. No task is greater than for each of us and all of us together to discern and pursue the flourishing of all in Gods creation. These books are meant as a contribution to that task.

Soli Trinitati Gloria
Deus gaudii supermaximi, omnibenefaciens,
vobis sit laus omnium creaturarum,
in vos omnis intentio et desiderium;
in vobis opus hoc et omnes lectores requiescant
saecula usque ad saeculorum.
For my wife, Rebekah,
my partner, friend, and one true love:
your magnificence and grace underlie every page of this book.
For the many ways in which you tirelessly, and too often thanklessly, remind me of the glory of God, I thank you, and I pray that in this book you will find some reflection of the glory you have so faithfully and powerfully reminded me of these many years.
Do you not know? Do you not hear?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Isaiah 40:21

Corollaries
C OROLLARY 1: It is not only through the physical that we approach beauty.
C OROLLARY 2: Longing for that which is not present in the desired way is an integral part of the experience of the beautiful.
C O R O L L A R Y 3: The experience of the beautiful, properly speaking, is of creatures.
C OROLLARY 5: However much the beautiful creature is dear to us for its own sake, it is more importantly dear to us for Gods sake.
C OROLLARY 6: Because what reminds one person may not be the same as what reminds another person (for various reasons), the subjective element in the experience of beauty is irreducible.
