For many people, faith may be defined as belief in someone or something, but that basic understanding invites some deeper questions. Where does faith come from? How can we experience it? What is its goal? Why do we need it at all? The Bible offers an intriguing perspective, saying that “faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
The discussion will consider this biblical view of faith, paying particular attention to how “things hoped for” and “unseen” can be substantiated, or made real, in human experience.
Join Christian Students on Campus in welcoming their special guest Tony Espinosa, a researcher in church history and theology with a focus on the Anglican and Reformed traditions. Espinosa studied at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, as well as the University of California, Irvine, and California State University, Fullerton, where he focused on early American religious history. His current research interests include the nature of faith, the relation of the Holy Spirit to the humanity of Jesus, and the meaning of eternal life.
