Our day and age has suffered from a widespread rejection of the truth of God’s existence. Oftentimes God is reduced to a fantasy being, someone who may be nice to believe in, but can never actually be proven to exist. “Proving the Existence of God” with Dr. Mark Wunsch seeks to encourage harmony between faith and reason. Drawing from the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas’ Five Ways, you will learn how what we first come to know through faith can be further supported by rational arguments. By making observations of the reality which He has gifted us, you will find not only proof that God exists, but that man exists ultimately for Him.
