Description
Résumé:In this article I shall analyse and evaluate analytic theists' views of what it takes to be a person of faith. I suggest that the subject can be approached by posing requirements a person must allegedly fulfil in order to count as a person of faith. These requirements can be referred to as aspects of faith. According to my analysis, four different aspects of faith can be distinguished: the cognitive, the evaluative-affective, the practical, and the interpersonal. There have been divergent assessments about which aspects are indispensable for faith and how they should be understood.
