Book Recommendations Needed: Religious/Theological Aesthetics

I am most recently  interested in religious/theological aesthetics, or more appropriately how particular religious communities have a theology of what is beautiful, ideal and normative and its relation to theologies of prosperity/ health and wealth (non)gospels.

Any suggestions for starters?
