When it comes to the deep questions of how we know what we know or why we find some things beautiful, there is always a danger that Christians will simply take ambient cultural ideas off the peg and sprinkle them with the magic dust of Bible verses. This wonderful book resists that disappointing trend, building instead a deeply and distinctively Christian account of beauty and knowledge. Beginning with the Trinity, Vern Poythress shows us in his characteristically clear and incisive way how unity and diversity beautifully cohere for the Christian, and how God gives us different perspectives to understand the world.

This is a book on Trinitarian thinking that demonstrates the rare virtue of being both practical and readable. It will delight Christians wanting to explore the riches of the Bible for shaping our understanding of the world and deepening our love for the God who made it.--Chris Watkin, author of Biblical Critical Theory About the Author Vern S.
