Faith as Trust (Not Just Belief) - Dr. Teresa Morgan

What is Biblical faith? Is it a blind leap, a group of teachings, or an internal conviction? Dr. Teresa Morgan, Biblical scholar and author of Roman Faith and Christian Faith, discusses with Matt and Nick what the word translated "faith" (pistis) meant in Greco-Roman culture, how the Biblical authors used it, and how its use changed over time in Christian vocabulary. She addresses questions about pistis christou, allegiance, grace, and salvation by faith alone. She also gives her opinion on whether Augustine and the Reformers took the “faithfulness” out of “faith.”Resources Referenced: Roman Faith and Christian Faith  by Teresa Morgan, Popular Morality in the Early Roman Empire by Teresa Morgan, Salvation by Allegiance Alone, by Matthew Bates, Paul and the Gift by John BarclayTheme Music: "Believe" by Posthumorous.
