Sunday School EP 12: Using Philosophy to Get at God with Dr. Robert Delfino [The Pat Flynn Show]

by Pat Flynn

 Using Philosophy to Get at God with Dr. Robert Delfino
using philosophy to get at god

Dr. Robert Delfino joins me to a deep and interesting philosophical conversation about how the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas and his famous “5 ways” can help us to form a better understanding of God.

Show Notes and Resources

I can’t recommend Dr. Delfino’s book enough:
Does God Exist: A Socratic Dialogue on the Five Ways of Thomas Aquinas
This is a thorough and accessible read for anybody who’s interested in the relationship between faith and reason.
