Abstract

Divine beauty is a serious problem in the field of aesthetics and a bold act. The essence of the whole history of theological aesthetics is the history of buffering the tension between perceptual beauty and divine beauty. Because of the opposition and conflict between perceptual beauty and divine beauty, the light of divine beauty becomes a distant and vague shadow hidden behind the subject and becomes the “aesthetic theology”. The real theological method should establish its aesthetics from the treasure house of theological revelation, so as to solve the tension between perceptual beauty and divine beauty since ancient times. Therefore, the true beauty of godhead (that is, the root of god) is the root of benevolence and the root of wisdom. The two constitute the true nature of the beauty of godhead, which solves the phenomenon of the paradox of existence that has plagued for centuries. This paper is divided into four parts: one is the definition of the beauty of divinity; the other is the origin of the beauty of divinity; the third is the shelter of the beauty of divinity; the fourth is the eternal law of the beauty of divinity.
