Fideism

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Fideism holds that religious faith neither needs nor benefits from rational proof—faith operates beyond argument's jurisdiction, and demands commitment, not conclusions.

Show

Kierkegaard: faith is a leap made in objective uncertainty—a proof of God, he thought, would make faith impossible.

Watch for

Fideism is a position, not a shrug—its defenders argue for it, which critics call its own paradox.
