| 總結: | "These seven essays offer fresh perspectives on beauty's role in revelation. Each essay features a hermeneutical approach informed by the contemporary study of aesthetics. Covering a series of texts in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, from Adam and Eve in the garden to Jesus on trial in the Fourth Gospel, the authors engage beauty from three overarching perspectives: modern philosophy, contextual criticism, and the postcritical return to beauty's primary qualities. The three perspectives are not harmonized but rather explored concurrently to create a volume with intriguing methodological tensions. As this collection highlights beauty in the narratives of scripture, it opens readers to a largely unexplored dimension of the Bible."--Back cover The potential of the category of sublime for reading the episodes of the stilling of the storm (Luke 8:22-25) and of the transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36) /Jean-François Racine --The sublime art of prophetic seeing : aesthetics and the word in the Book of Jeremiah /Mark Brummitt --Perceiving beauty in Mark 5:21-43 /Antonio Portalatín --Beauty, power, and attraction : aesthetics and the Hebrew Bible /David Penchansky --Yachin and Boaz in Jerusalem and Rome /Richard J.
