In this paper, I present a piece of natural theology, whose pro tanto conclusion is the existence of god-the-artist, that is a lower case “g” god, a creator who creates for the sake of beauty, but who is not worthy of worship, a god who can be admired but should not be loved. I then consider some only partially successful responses to this dismal conclusion. Finally, I show to reconcile the idea of a god motivated by love of beauty with the religious tradition of an upper case “G” God, who is not merely to be worshiped but loves us and invites a loving response.

美的自然神学与爱的荣耀

在本文中,我提出了一个自然神学,其自然结论是神灵艺术家的存在,即小写的“ g”神,它是为美而创造的创造者,但并非如此。值得敬拜的神,可以敬佩却不应该被爱。然后,我认为对这一令人沮丧的结论只有部分成功的回应。最后,我展示了将以爱美丽为动机的上帝的思想与大写字母“ G”的宗教传统相调和,G上帝不仅要受到崇拜,而且要爱我们,并引起热烈的反响。
