Our latest edition of FrontLine is called, “The God of Beauty.” We introduced this edition with Interview 20, where coordinating editor Mark Herbster laid out his objectives in assembling writers to address this topic. You can catch that interview here.

Last week we talked to David de Bruyn on The Meaning of Beauty. This week, we continue our conversation with David, discussing his second article, The Story of Beauty in Church History. The article takes us through a flying survey of how church leaders thought about beauty through the ages. It helps form our perspective as we evaluate what is considered beautiful or not beautiful in our society. Paying subscribers can read this article here at our substack, all others can see the preview.

We hope you find our conversation stimulating.

As mentioned, paying subscribers will have access to this article right away. If you subscribe for the annual subscription rate, we will also include a subscription to the print magazine.
