The Role of Aesthetics in Christian Apologetics

From ‘The Task of Christian Parents is to Show the Loveliness of the Faith‘:

“Our apologetics must not be merely intellectual, occupied with the Big Questions of the universe and its origins. We must also engage in “cultural apologetics”, working to transform the rhythms and practices of our culture, not least the culture of our Christian communities and churches, to reflect the beauty and desirability of Christ. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once noted, “In vain does one repeat what the heart does not find sweet.” It is not good enough simply to prove to someone that Christianity is true; if we are to have an impact for Christ we must also show that the faith is sweet, that Christianity is not only true, but lovely and desirable.”
