Excerpt from Faith and the Faith: The Bohlen Lectures 1914 And this twofold use of the word is found in the New Testament even in the simple records of the beginnings of its revelation. The faith of the early evangelistic records is sometimes man's fidelity to a trust, trust worthiness, fides in its classical sense; as for mstance, in the Lord's enumeration of justice and mercy and faith as the' weightier mat ters of the law or in His commendation of the faithful and prudent stewardfi'e But it is more often man's trust in the heavenly Father or in Christ Himself, fiducia as it would be accurately expressed in Latin, as over and again we read that the Lord acted on His sight or His knowledge or recognition of men's confidence in Him, or that He lamented their lack of that confidence with out which His power could not fully act.i' Whether in a few cases the word is so used as to imply or look towards a different sense, we must consider later.
