O knihe
What do the terms ‘belief’ and ‘believe’ actually signify?
Is the concept of ‘believing integral to a solid religious conviction?
Wilfred Cantwell Smith;s radical study is a response to these topical and fervently debated questions. A highly respected author, he tackles these complex issues in a highly lucid and cogent style.
Today the concept of ‘believing’ is generally considered to be of central significance to one’s faith. Smith’s comprehensive enquirey, conducted from a historical standpoint, reveals that this emphasis on its importance is a relatively modern phenomenon.
The author traces the history of ‘believing’ through:
• discussion of religious belief from a modern philosophical and linguistic perspective.
• assessment of the history of the English words ‘belief’ and ‘believe’
• the study of biblical passages
This profound and innovative text is an essential read for anyone interested in contemporary theological debate.
