Beauty and the Bible includes the many references to "beauty" (37 times) and "beautiful" (74 times) in the Bible,[1] but not how Hollywood values mischaracterize true beauty.

“ | For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. | ” |
“ | but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious | ” |
