Two Theses  \n\n| Author: | Anne Marie Reijnen |\n| --- | --- |\n| Abstract | This paper presents two theses concerning beauty. The first thesis affirms the universal appeal of beauty as cosmos. Harmony, order, regularity, symmetry are the constant elements of classical beauty acknowledged by all, along with a sense of economy, of the proportion between the means and the end, without waste. The second thesis deals with another beauty which interrupts the harmony. This can be called beauty crucified. It is counter intuitive and paradoxical. It is God’s Word revealing itself in the astounding anomaly of a bush burning without being consumed, and in the life that rises from a gruesome death. These two theses do not aim to be antithetical, for both kinds of beauty are at home in the world. The two forms or meanings of beauty may, therefore, appear to be difficult to reconcile. But the article concludes by suggesting that Paul Tillich, writing on holy waste, may |\n\nCompiled Jun 3, 2024 4:01:41 AM by Document Globe ® 1  \n\n|  | offer one way of understanding the ongoing validity and importance of both theses. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Keywords: | beauty – cosmology – harmony – paradox – Paul Tillich |\n| Citation: | REIJNEN, Anne Marie.

Rather it focuses on an exploration of where most people concrete instances of beauty in our world that may remind them/us of both the lost paradise and of the kingdom of God. The paper asks whether beauty reminds us of a lost paradise, a beauty to which we desire to return, or of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of justice, peace and goodness, to which we are inexorably drawn. It suggests that beauty pertains to both paradise and the kingdom of God, not least as they are not entirely separate entities but are linked with one another. |\n| Keywords: | Paradise – Kingdom – Beauty – artists’ colonies – theological aesthetics |\n| Citation: | THEISSEN, Gesa.
