Today it is time to see through this need for certainty as being in itself misguided, and to distinguish the false desire for objective certainty, which can only be satisfied by belief in authority, from the trusting certainty of faith, which consists of the total committal of one’s own existence in the act of trust, but which is not capable of extending the theoretical credibility of the substance of faith into an absolute theological certainty. It is part of the situation of the ‘pilgriming’ church, which has not yet reached the final consummation, that the content of faith should remain exposed to doubt. It is part of the provisional nature of Christian existence.
