    Aquinas’s Proofs for God’s Existence
    18 lessonsDoes God exist? This is one of the great questions, and Thomas Aquinas takes it head on with his famous “Five Ways” or “Five Proofs” for the existence of God. In this course, we will unpack each proof over several short episodes, outlining how they work, adding context, and answering objections. With a little study, you’ll find that Aquinas’ proofs are not only profound, but even life changing.

    • What it would mean to “prove” God’s existence
    • How each proof for God’s existence works
    • Additional context for St. Thomas’ proofs
    • Answers to common objections
