I would be very curious about this. I have yet to hear any definition of faith that wasn't either superficial and incomplete (belief in things not seen- what things not seen? how do you choose which things not seen to believe in?) or circular (I have faith in God because I have faith in God).Francois Tremblayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760072622693359795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802793022423388420.post-30064856225287991292011-07-29T12:54:37.987-07:002011-07-29T12:54:37.987-07:00Great article.
