The Courage of Faith

Abstract

When Christians today consider whether and in what way faith might be difficult or fearful and thus require courage, they are likely to think of the dangers of persecution and perhaps even martyrdom. Such dangers do attend faith, as Jesus promised his first-century disciples that they would, but they are merely accidental dangers (as the relative safety and security of twenty-first century American Christian reveals).
