Publisher Description Carol Harrison places Saint Augustines theology in a new and illuminating context by considering what he has to say about beauty. She demonstrates how a theological understanding of beauty revealed in the created, temporal realm enabled Augustine to form a positive appreciation of this realm and the saving power of beauty within it. It therefore reintroduces aesthetics alongside philosophy and ethics in Augustines treatment of God. Unlike previous works, it shiftsthe emphasis away from Augustines early and most theoretical treatises to his mature reflections as a bishop and pastor on how God communicates with fallen man. Using his theory of language as aparadigm, it shows how divine beauty, revealed in creation and history, serves to inspire fallen mans faith, hope, and most especially his love - thereby reforming him and restoring the form or beauty he had lost.
