Our word for this week is the word “Faith”, but what is faith?
Some Christians think that it means blind acceptance: “You’ve just to go believe.”
Some skeptics agree: “Faith is believing in something without good reasons to do so.” – Steven Pinker, evolutionary psychologist who opposed mandatory religion classes at Harvard.
Both are mistaken; such ignorance of the nature of faith leads to:
- Shallowness of faith among Christians.
- Prejudice against faith among skeptics.
In order to avoid misunderstanding the nature of faith, especially the nature of Christian faith, we are going to look at both.
