God is beauty

"God is beauty; to be God is to be enjoyable... God's beauty is the actual living exchange between Father, Son and Spirit as this exchange is perfect simply as exchange, as it sings." Robert Jenson, Systematic Theology I.235

Jonathan Edwards privileged beauty in his doctrine of God: God is truth and goodness because he is beauty, 'beauty of the sort music has'. This is his glory.

In a discussion of feminine beauty elsewhere, people were quick to raise the passage in 1 Peter about the prominence of character as the truly beautiful adornment of a woman's life (as opposed to bling bling...). Edwards would agree, pointing out that beauty and virtue are in close connection. But it is still an aesthetic quality, regardless. To talk of God's beauty is to talk of how God is sensed, for example.
