In \u003ci\u003eToward a Theology of Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e, Father Navone explains that the Creator, Happiness Itself, knows truth and loves goodness and delights in beauty; consequently, whatever proceeds from the Creator - all creation - is knowable, lovable, and enjoyable. We can therefore see the Creator in the truth and goodness and beauty of all things, and we can have communion with Happiness Itself in knowing and loving and delighting in all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFather Navone uses basic points of reference, such as divine revelation and Jesus' farewell discourse, to explore a theology of beauty.
