Believing: An Historical Perspective

By Wilfred Cantwell Smith

Book Overview

A study of the difference between the terms belief and believe and how the meaning has changed through history, this text reveals that emphasis is purely a modern phenomenon. Smith tackles such questions as: what do the terms belief and believe actually mean?; and is the concept of believing integral to a solid conviction?
