Theology of Creation and Beauty: Kohelet 3:11 by Tibor Máhrik, Roman Králik

“…The hermeneutic of the text Kohelet 3:11, which defines beauty as a characteristic feature of all being in the context of creation theology, is utilised to focus on the typical tension between beauty as an immanent feature of the real world and the human desire to fully understand and capture it.
