# Requests for Books about Christianity and Beauty

This weekend I have finished Frank Schaeffer’s [Crazy for God](http://www.amazon.com/Crazy-God-Helped-Religious-ebook/dp/B003K1552E/) (review tomorrow), watched [Donald Miller](http://storylineblog.com)‘s [Blue Like Jazz](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Like_Jazz) movie and gone to visit the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.  All three of which, have made me think in different ways about the importance of beauty to our Christian faith and theology.  I have only read a few things that have tangentially related to beauty and Christianity.

I would really like to explore some more.  Does anyone have any suggestions for books, movies or lectures that would cover the theological issues around beauty and Christianity?
