Disputes over the nature of faith, as understood in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, sometimes focus on whether it is to be identified exclusively with trust in God or with loyalty/fidelity to God. Drawing on recent work on the semantic range of the Hebrew ʾĕmûnâ and Greek pistis lexicons, we argue for a multidimensional account of what it is to be a person of faith that includes trust and loyalty in combination. The Trust-Loyalty account, we maintain, makes better sense of the faith of exemplars, including Abraham, and fits well with the biblical language of faith. Further, a normatively appropriate combination of trust and loyalty towards others is a recognizable social virtue, aimed at promoting flourishing relationships. Finally, we consider how to make sense of ancient and modern exemplars of faith who protest against God, such as Job and Elie Wiesel, and argue that the Trust-Loyalty view is uniquely well suited to accommodate them.

犹太-基督教信仰是信任和忠诚

正如犹太-基督教传统所理解的那样,关于信仰本质的争论有时会集中在是否将其完全等同于对上帝的信任或对上帝的忠诚/忠诚。借鉴最近关于希伯来语语义范围的工作ʾĕmûnâ和希腊语皮斯蒂斯在词典中,我们主张对一个有信仰的人进行多维描述,包括信任和忠诚的结合。这信任-忠诚我们坚持认为,这种说法更能理解包括亚伯拉罕在内的榜样的信仰,并且与圣经的信仰语言非常吻合。此外,对他人的信任和忠诚的规范适当组合是一种公认​​的社会美德,旨在促进繁荣的关系。最后,我们考虑如何理解反对上帝的古代和现代信仰典范,例如约伯和埃利·威塞尔,并认为信任-忠诚view 非常适合容纳它们。
