BREATHING in Beauty with Wesley Vander Lugt (ep. 58)

Listen Later

On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Dr. Wesley Vander Lugt about his new book, Beauty is Oxygen. It’s a conversation about how our souls crave beauty, and how we need beauty both to help us breathe and to help us build. Among the topics we discuss:

  • What it means to say that "beauty is oxygen"
  • The way beauty meets those who are "buffered", "battered", and "bored"
  • Criticisms of the concept of beauty as too narrow
  • The relationship between the beauty of the world and the beauty of God (or, why John Piper might be wrong about it)
  • The relationship of beauty and justice
  • How we might grow in attentiveness and awe
