April 13, 2021 Editor's Recommendation: The Poetics of Evil by Phil Tallon April 13, 2021/ Managing Editor The Poetics of Evil: Toward an Aesthetic Theodicy By Tallon, Philip “Impeccably written and beautifully argued, Tallon’s book traverses impressive terrain, carving out a critical role for aesthetic considerations from beauty to tragedy to horror in a manner insightful and deeply moving. It defends the wager that beauty can put us in genuine contact with reality and makes the case that no theodicy is complete without countenancing the possibility that the artistry of God and the beauty of the incarnation vitally informs the discussion.” — David Baggett, Executive Editor
