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

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

2024-08-20

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
