Faith Misused: Why Christianity Is Not Just Another Religion

Faith community. Faith journey. People of faith. Faith leaders.

Have you ever heard or read these phrases? These and many other similar phrases are increasingly common, but what do they actually mean? In fact, what does faith mean?

While the word faith is often used today, rarely is it defined or even used correctly. Faith Misused goes back to the New Testament, examining the Greek word for faith and revealing how the Scriptures use the word in a radically different way than we do today. With that foundation in place, the rest of the book discusses how the Enlightenment affected the modern usage of the word, explores how usage has changed since then, and gives examples of common misuses of the word faith.

Faith Misused will help Christians first to understand the true, biblical meaning of faith and then to use their words wisely to better portray that faith in a confused world.
