Jo Ann Davidson’s piece “God and Aesthetics” is the first of an occasional series of articles that address some of the finer points of human existence and their relation to our great, all-knowing, all-wise, all-endowed, and all-giving God. The series seeks to elaborate on how artistic areas of our lives and talent reflect, and may even more effectively declare, the genius of their Source and Giver. Our hope is that readers find it an intellectually, artistically, and spiritually uplifting exercise. Within that context, we specifically wish to demonstrate our common cause with God’s many gifted agents and representatives, whose conscientious dedication to their craft and Creator qualifies them to uniquely appreciate and critique what we consider to be a highly necessary endeavor, and one, we pray, that will prove highly valuable as well.—Editors.
