Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. I'm Caleb and I'm joined by Dr. Rod Rosenblot, Dr. Scott Keith,

and Dr. Adam Francisco. We are in our great thinkers of the Christian Church series. And what we're

talking about today is a character that we've already covered once, but we didn't get to sort of the

breadth of his impact. So we're talking about

Thomas Aquinas, once again. In the last episode where we talked about Aquinas, we had Dr. Dan

Dean on the show, and we talked about sort of the early life of Aquinas, his education, and a good

chunk of his philosophical impact. Today we're going to talk about some of

the theological impact that Aquinas had. We're going to finally get around to actually outlining

the five ways of Thomas Aquinas and try to offer up any perhaps resources that we missed

the last time. If you're listening to the show, you already know,

but it's a good reminder that we are not going chronologically in this series. So that's why

there's been episodes between the last Thomas Aquinas episode and this one. Same thing with

Luther. We had Donovan Riley on to talk about Luther, and we did the early life of Luther,

and we will have further episodes on that as well.

The main goal of this series is to just hit as many people as we can in sort of the time frame

that we have available when we can get guests who specialize on a particular person.

We're going to utilize them, whether we're kind of in that time period in history or not.

And today, we're going to let Dr. Francisco go one thing.

Because we found out when we brought a guest on that Dr. Francisco is indeed a neotomist.

Oh, brother.

So we thought we'd let him delve into his expertise a little further.

But for the record, for the ones who are like...
