FRSEMR 31n: Beauty and Christianity
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Jesus has inspired great works of art, literature, and music, but Christians have not always agreed on the function of beauty.

Lewis, and O'Connor. The abiding question will be: In what ways does aesthetic form-- beauty-- enhance, qualify, complicate, or obscure the gospel?
