Powerful, trustworthy beautiful?
Samuel G. Parkison makes a startling claim: Jesus is the most beautiful man to ever exist. His defence is theoretical and experiential: he knows him to be ultimate beauty and he has experienced him to be so.
Deconstructing cultural notions that beauty is subjective or sentimental, Parkison constructs an impressive picture of Gods breathtaking beauty. On this firm foundation, the only building to rise is one that testifies to Jesus, the Godman, as the most beautiful man that ever lived.
Theres beauty on every page of Jesus story. From before time, the beautiful foreknowledge of the Father prepared for the beauty of the incarnation. From this beautiful birth came a ministry brimming with beauty, and a death that overflowed with it. This beautiful sunset is followed by a resurrection sunrise: the beautiful declaration that salvation is secure.Having ascended, with beauty unbound, he now reigns forever as our ceaseless intercessor.
Through the pages of this journey, the unvarnished Jesus radiates with a true beauty like nothing and no one else. His rivals, the lesser versions, knockoffs and dupes, are ugly in comparison to the beautiful Jesus of the Holy Scriptures. He is the only one through whom satisfaction and communion with God, the ultimate beauty were wired to desire, is found.
This is a beauty that everyone needs to know and experience.With sidebars and a glossary to distil complex terms, readers are invited to delve deeper into the beauty of Jesus. Theres beauty in the big words, and its within the grasp of every reader.
So, put the proposition to the test. Read and revel in Jesus; hes beautiful.
