Episode: Made for Beauty (Genesis 2:8–9)
Description: When God planted the Garden of Eden for Adam, he caused all kinds of trees to grow up from the ground, not just so that they would produce food for him, but also so that they would be “pleasing to the sight.” In this episode, we think about the fact that God has made us for beauty and the arts.Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).
