What Faith Really Means
Rev. Henry Grey Graham
Faith is rational; it's the response of the mind that
leads us to believe based on the authority of the
one who tells us. We have “faith” when
scientists tell us that our cells each contain
forty-six chromosomes, or that lithium atoms have
three protons; we haven't counted them or done the
experiments ourselves. It is perfectly rational
for us to have this faith; those who tell us such
things have authority; and we believe what
they tell us precisely due to that authority.
But what about when God tells us something?
Should we not respond with an even stronger faith;
indeed, with a supernatural faith, a faith that
only God can give us?
In this little book, Fr. Graham goes through all
these things: what faith is, why we should have
it, and the foundation of the authority on which we
base it. An excellent resource for showing that
our faith is, indeed, supernatural; but it is also
rational, a necessity in this
pseudo-rational age.
