Steven Nemes is welcomed to The Pat Flynn Show to offer a brief introduction to phenomenology (what is it and why care) and then to present 2 Ways to God in Thomas Aquinas and Michel Henry -- one being the outer way of St. Thomas based on objective being, the other being the inner way of Michel Henry based on interior life -- comparing and contrasting the two.
