"...as Augustine rightly insists, the Creator God himself is the summum bonum, the 'greatest good,' ... I would insist that God is such a good, not as a possession to be grasped by employing our rational nature, but rather, in relation to human creatures, as a creator, a giver of gifts. To engage the Giver, the Good, is to engage his gifts, which are boundless but are also rooted in our created existence" (pg. 66)
