Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Religion
  • Social Psychology
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Faith is a complex human attribute central to relationships and belief systems.
  • Existing theories may not fully capture faith's resilience amidst challenges.
  • Understanding faith across religious and secular domains requires a unified framework.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel theory of faith emphasizing resilience.
  • To demonstrate the theory's applicability to diverse faith expressions.
  • To analyze scriptural and secular examples of faith.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and theoretical sketching.
  • Examination of religious texts (Christian and Hebrew scriptures).
  • Analysis of faith in secular relationships and popular culture.

Main Results:

  • The proposed theory accommodates faith's persistence despite doubt or adversity.
  • It integrates concepts of mutual faith, faithfulness, and scriptural terms (pístis, 'ĕmûnāh).
  • The theory explains faith's role in both intimate relationships and broader societal contexts.

Conclusions:

  • A resilient theory of faith offers a robust framework for understanding this fundamental human experience.
  • This approach bridges the gap between religious and secular conceptualizations of faith.
  • Further research can explore the empirical implications of faith resilience.
