In this installment of our Life of the Mind Lecture Series, Dr. Laura A. Smit explores A Sense of Sweetness: In Search of a Reformed Theology of Beauty. Challenging the common assumption that the Reformed tradition has little interest in beauty, Dr. Smit shows how its theological convictions offer a rich vision that deepens our worship, enriches our appreciation of the arts, and shapes the Christian life. The Life of the Mind Lecture Series at First & Calvary invites thoughtful Christians and curious seekers alike to engage important ideas at the intersection of faith, theology, culture, and the life of the mind.

In this series, we invite you to move beyond knowing about God to truly beholding his beauty. From the resonance of his voice in scripture to the radiant mystery of the Trinity, ECO's Essential Tents explore facets of God’s splendor.
