Sin and beauty are synonymous in the thinking of many Christians. By its actions if not its pronouncements the church has often equated drabness with holiness.

Does God appreciate beauty? Should a Christian have an acquaintance with the masterpieces of art and music? These questions trouble many sincere followers of Jesus. Many see in the injunction "Love not the world" a warning against familiarity with art, music, sculpture, architecture, or literature.

In "Christian Search for Beauty" Professor Hannum takes a look at aesthetics, a field in which Christians can profitably become knowledgeable.
