Faith, Western Christianity, and the New Testament

#YungSukKim Western Christianity was influenced by Augustine and Luther whose understanding of faith is very limited. Their understanding may be summarized as follows: 1) Individual salvation or justification: imparted or imputed righteousness (forensic salvation); 2) Introspective, inner faith out of guilt rather than public faith; 3) Invading, exclusive gospel: colonialism and exclusivism. But the prevailing aspects of faith in the New Testament have more to do with “participatory faith,” as in the four Gospels and Paul’s 7 undisputed letters. There are also other aspects of faith: faith as knowledge, faith as works, and faith as a conviction.
