Of all the words used by Christians, "Faith" may be the most crucial. And yet, for many followers of Jesus who claim to have it (and be saved by it), they don't have a solid and clear answer for what the word actually means. Far too often it is simply associated with the English word "belief", but historically that is not what the Greek word translated as "faith" fully means. In this 3 part class, we explore the historical origins of the word faith, how that affects the way the Biblical authors used it and what it means for our understanding today.
