Beauty Will Save the World

In Beauty Will Save the World, Brian Zahnd explores the diminishing value of beauty in contemporary society, particularly within the church, where faith is often viewed through a pragmatic lens. He argues that this shift has dangerous implications for Western culture, as the deeper message of the Gospel becomes overshadowed by material needs and political ambitions. Through the lens of the Beatitudes and inspiring stories from St. Francis of Assisi and his own experiences, Zahnd encourages a journey toward rediscovering the beauty of God's kingdom as an alternative to the failures of modern power structures.
