Abstract
A review of computer science literature shows that incorporating beauty is beneficial in areas such as programming and design. Beauty in the field of computer science unified with a theological view of beauty forms a faith-integrated perspective with vertical and horizontal dimensions. This article argues that a faith-integrated perspective of beauty in computer science adds transcendent meaning and purposes for incorporating aesthetics as part of a computer science academic curriculum. Some examples are also provided for teaching with a faith-integrated perspective on beauty in computer science courses for Christian higher education. [A]
