520 1 $a"What does it mean to live by faith? Beginning from the term "faith" in the New Testament and Thomas Aquinas, eminent theologian Brian Gerrish shows that saving faith, as Martin Luther and John Calvin understood it, was not so much belief as discernment of God's good will toward them in the word about Christ and therefore also in their own lives. As such, saving faith has its counterparts in secular faith: other outlooks, religious or not, which enable persons to find meaning in their lives through discernment of a pattern on them or an object worthy of loyalty. Faith is not exclusively a Christian virtue but a characteristic activity of the human mind, and both saving a secular faith rest on inevitable beliefs shared by Christians with others."--BOOK JACKET.
