Quote – Objective Faith vs. Subjective Faith
Quote (1844) – “In comparing the system of Ancient Christianity with that which has in the latest period become prevalent among us, no point of contrast is more prominently conspicuous than this – that in the one (biblical times – PH), the chief attention is directed to the objects of faith, in the other (1844 – PH), faith itself.” (Five Sermon on the Temptation of Christ, W.H. Mill)
Summed up, the difference is between what is to be believed and what is believed; between the objective revealed faith and our subjective responsive faith.
