Fideism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Christian theology, fideism is any of several belief systems which hold, on various grounds, that reason is irrelevant to religious faith. According to some versions of fideism, reason is the antithesis of faith; according to others, faith is prior to or beyond reason, and therefore is unable to be proven or disproven by it.
The word is also occasionally used to refer to the Protestant belief that Christians are saved by faith alone: for which see sol? fide. This position is sometimes called solifidianism.
Thanks for posting the definition. It sure sounds like someone has decided faith is heresy. What strikes me the most is the idea that it is heresy to believe that salvation is by faith alone. Salvation is by faith alone.
I guess I realise this because I know that Catholics don't have the same definition for salvation that fundies have.
