"""""Apologetical Aesthetics has so many virtues that it is hard to know where to start and where to stop. In the field of upper-level Christian scholarship on aesthetics, this book ranks as the best of the best. The scope of research is so breathtaking that it is hard to imagine that any important source on the subject has been omitted from consideration. . . . As a work of apologetics, the authors strike an admirable balance between claiming too much for beauty and too little."""" --Leland Ryken, Emeritus Professor of English at Wheaton College, and author of Recovering the Lost Art of Reading: A Quest for the True, the Good, and the Beautiful """"This wide-ranging collection of provocative essays offers a cogent and sophisticated response to the confused banalities of contemporary naturalistic science. It establishes that our understanding of aesthetics affects our understanding of science and life, and that aesthetics in the pursuit of Truth or God advances human flourishing. A rewarding read."""" --Arthur Pontynen, Emeritus Professor of Art History, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and author of For the Love of Beauty"
