Explore "Faith and Belief" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The sublime and abstruse doctrines of Christian belief belong to the church; but the faith of the individual, centered in his heart, is or may be collateral to them.[1]
Faith is subjective. I throw myself in adoration before God; acknowledge myself his creature, -- simple, weak, lost; and pray for help and pardon through Jesus Christ: but when I rise from my knees, I discuss the doctrine of the Trinity as I would a problem in geometry; in the same temper of mind, I mean, not by the same process of reasoning, of course.
