Bestaat God? Bewijzen, Godservaringen en Thomas van Aquino | De Ongelooflijke Podcast #238

Does God exist? What is the origin of the universe? And what makes us happy? These are just a few of the questions that Thomas Aquinas—one of the greatest European thinkers of all time—addresses in his vast philosophical and theological work. Someone who knows Thomas well is Niko Schonebaum. He teaches about the great thinkers of the past, including Plato and Socrates, as well as Thomas Aquinas. He is captivated by Aquinas and sees that his arguments convince secular students as well. Niko Schonebaum was an atheist but ended up with Christianity in a remarkable way. Experiences of God play a major role in the lives of both Thomas Aquinas and Niko Schonebaum. A new episode every Sunday at 8:00 AM on this channel.
