“Faith is not belief, an assent to a proposition, faith is attachment to the meaning beyond the mystery.”

“There are three acts of faith, assent, acceptance, and assurance.”

“Faith is not about finding meaning in the world, there may be no such thing -- faith is the belief in our capacity to create meaningful lives.”

“It is a mysterious thing, the loss of faith-as mysterious as faith itself. Like faith, it is ultimately not rooted in logic; it is a change in the climate of the mind.”

“Let us never underestimate the motivational force that the belief in Scripture’s divine proximity has upon exegetes. They open the book having already invested their faith in the proposition that it is underwritten by God.”

“I am of no faith,” said Aenea. “If one defines faith as belief in the supernatural.”

“In the elementary sense of the word, faith is our assent to a truth that transcends us; but spiritually speaking, it is our assent, not to transcendent concepts, but to immanent realities, or to Reality as such; now this Reality is our very substance.”

“The faith of religion is belief on insufficient evidence.”

“Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made. That is not the sort of belief that indicates real faith.”

“Belief in God is a matter of personal conviction and faith.”
