Is
God Beautiful or Ugly?

The Beauty of God for a Broken

A growing cadre of “ex-Christians” insists that the God
of the Bible is ugly. “If such a god existed,” they say, “he would
not be worthy of our worship. We should despise and hate such a monster.”
I believe that the triune God of the Bible is –
The most beautiful Being
The source of all created beauty
The objective standard by which all beauty
must be
judged
This site is dedicated to displaying the beauty of God. As it
grows, I plan to include reviews of relevant books, quotations from classic
authors, brief articles, and excerpts from my forthcoming book, The Beauty of God for a Broken World: Reflections on the
Goodness of the God of the Bible.
The original subtitle was Theological
Reflections Fueled by the Passion of Jonathan Edwards, which is another
accurate description of its contents. The Forward was written by Dr. Samuel T. Logan, Jr. under whom I
took a class on the theology of
Jonathan Edwards at Westminster Seminary. He was also the dissertation advisor
for my PhD. Dr. Logan is the International Director for The World Reformed
Fellowship and Special
Counsel to the President of Biblical Seminary.
The book is scheduled to be published in
August 2010 by Christian Literature Crusade. I expect to be offering the book
at a discount. If you want to know when it becomes available, please email me
at JKLaShell@Godisbeautiful.com.
In addition, you will find some audio
sermons and a few other things I have written. Enjoy!
