Faith and Reason: What is Faith?

Think for Christ by Dr. Anthony Alberino and Dr. Andrew Payne

Episode notes

Last time we looked at defective view of faith, which is the idea that faith is a kind of noncognitive, irrational, and emotional activity that is entirety distinct from and even in opposition to reason. We also briefly considered a much better definition of faith that accords with our ordinary, commonsense usage: faith is belief based on the authority and testimony of another. In this episode we are going to take a deeper look at faith by analyzing it further as a natural and rational mode of human knowing.
