Scott Smith: A Christian View of “Faith” in God: a Bi-Modal Interpretation Philotheos 19.1 (2019) 5–21 L. Scott Smith McGregor, TX, USA A Christian View of “Faith” in God: a Bi-Modal Interpretation Abstract: While central to the Christian religion, the act of faith has been notoriously difficult to de- fine. This essay is an attempt to illuminate, with the aid of insights from cognitive science and pro- cess philosophy, what it means for a Christian to have faith, specifically in God. In doing so, the apri- ori and aposteriori aspects of faith are explored, along with its connections to science and empirical evidence, revelation, knowledge, doubt, morality, and additional Christian beliefs. Key words: process philosophy, cognitive science, epistemology, a priori, nonreflective belief, reflec- tive belief, knowledge, modes of faith In the Christian religion, as in others, the idea of faith is front and center. St. Paul instructs Christians that the righteousness of God is revealed “through faith for faith” (Rom 1:17) and that “what is not of faith is sin” (14:23). Jesus ruefully referred to his closest disciples as “men of little faith” when they feared perishing in a storm at sea (Matt 8:26), and on an- other occasion explained to them that they would be able to move mountains if they had “faith as a grain of mustard seed” (Matt 17:20). It is also clear that Christians are to stand firm in their faith (I Cor 16:13). The Christian religion, from beginning to end, treats faith as a cardinal virtue of both thought and action. Yet defining the term defies easy consensus. It has been described,inter alia, as “a feel- ing of absolute dependence” and “God consciousness” (Friedrich Schleiermacher), an “ul- timate concern” (Paul Tillich), a “leap” (Soren Kierkegaard), the “will to believe” (William James), a “moral disposition” (Immanuel Kant), an “encounter” (Emil Brunner), an act of trust (Martin Buber), an experience of “the holy” (Rudolf Otto). and even of knowledge (Dallas Willard). While plausible arguments can be made to support these descriptions as highlighting aspects of faith, none alone captures the quintessence of the term. In some re- spects, it may appear that jettisoning it because of its vagueness would be a prudent course. But the Christian tradition supports the idea of faith and, moreover, is dependent upon it. It is incumbent upon Christians to retain and to use the term, yet in the most informed manner possible. Synthesizing insights from cognitive science and process philosophy, I will attempt to advance and to defend a novel view of faith, arguing that it is bi-modal, or manifested in two ways. No claim is being made that what is offered herein should be regarded as defin- itive or that it, ipso facto, precludes other definitions of the term. This essay is instead pre- L. Scott Smith 6 sented in the modest hope that it will be helpful to those attempting to understand and to defend the term. Throughout this treatment of the matter, I will assume that the act of faith (fide qua creditur) and its content (fide quae creditur) are mutually implicative. Since many readers may be unfamiliar with relevant findings from cognitive science, I will begin with an explanation of them. From Intuition to Rational Theology When considering faith, one must distinguish between its modes. There are two modes, one primal and basic and the other expansive and developed. Faith in its more elemental mode is a vague nonreflective belief,1 from which flowers an intellectually reflective one.2 Cognitive scientist Justin L. Barrett explains the difference between the two kinds of belief. The former occurs instantaneously and often below immediate conscious apprehension and is guided by “our information processing, speech, and other actions,”3 whereas the lat- ter is ponderous and involves deliberation or instruction,4 and represents the “higher-or- der” or “executive functions”5 of the mind. Reflective beliefs are those that we “consciously hold and explicitly endorse”6 One who is hungry may, for example, believe nonreflectively that she should eat. She may also believe reflectively, either through examination of nutri- tional data or explicit instruction, that she should consume mostly foods high in protein. Tools of the human mind categorize, describe, and facilitate what we encounter in experience, and do so unconsciously with amazing fluidity.7 They represent, according to Barrett, the fundamental tools of human cognition. The “categorizers” receive information from the senses and determine the character of what is perceived, such as whether it is a plant, an animal, or a human artifact.8 One such categorizer detects the agency of others on the basis of their beliefs and desires. If an individual, for instance, places a tool in a stor- age shed and soon thereafter opens the shed only to discover that the tool is not there, the mind’s “agency detection device” is instantly activated, forming the conclusion that some- one opened the shed and removed the tool. The “describers”9 determine the properties of an object once identified by a catego- rizer. They accomplish this in a variety of ways. When a small child, for example, recog- nizes an object as a ball, the child automatically assumes that the object has all the prop- erties of a ball; meaning that it occupies a single location at a given time, is unable to pass through other solid objects, is subject to gravity, and is movable by contact.

    Matter Redeemed: Alchemy and Exegesis from Antioch to Constantinople, 11th century by Alexandre Mattos Roberts A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Maria Mavroudi, Chair Professor Susanna Elm Professor Asad Ahmed Professor Michael Cooperson Spring 2015 © 2015 by Alexandre M. Roberts Abstract Matter Redeemed: Alchemy and Exegesis from Antioch to Constantinople, 11th century by Alexandre Mattos Roberts Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Maria Mavroudi, Chair This dissertation examines how scholars in eleventh-century Constantinople and Antioch (un- der Byzantine rule, 969-1084) understood matter and its transformation. It argues that matter, a concept inherited from ancient philosophy, continued to be a fertile and malleable idea-complex endowed with cultural and religious meaning in medieval thought-worlds of the Eastern Mediter- ranean. The first three chapters form a case study on the unpublished Arabic translations oflatean- tique Christian texts by the 11th-century Byzantine Orthodox deacon ʿAbdallāh ibn al-Faḍl of An- tioch (fl. c.1052). They proceed by increasing specificity: chapter 1 surveys Ibn al-Faḍl’s Greek- to-Arabic translations; chapter 2 turns to one of these translations, of a famous and highly influ- ential commentary on the first chapter of the Book of Genesis by Basil of Caesarea (c.330–?379), his Homilies on the Hexaemeron; and chapter 3 reads Ibn al-Faḍl’s marginalia to his translation of Basil’s Hexaemeron. Together, they provide insight into a culturally Byzantine milieu in which the primary language of communication was Arabic, exploring how intellectuals in that context understood matter, where this understanding came from, and why it resonated in this cityatthe edge of the empire.
