Abstract

This brief response takes up some of the most significant points made in the previous articles and those which look likely to be most productive of future research, including the relationship between πίστις and ἀγαπή, the role of loyalty in trust, the importance of faith in the risen or ascended Christ, the connections between πίστις and Paul's domestic, political and military language, and the roles of narrative and mythology in John's gospel. It also discusses briefly how πίστις is treated in early non-testamental texts, and how, in some respects, meanings and practices of πίστις evolve between the second century and the fifth.
