(1)-(3)

(1) Theology as faith seeking understanding. Against blind faith. Against trimming faith to fit within one's (pre-)understanding.

(2) What does this mean: "faith"? An initial ambiguity between (a) faithfulness (the life of faith, especially one's implicit and explicit doxastic, practical, and emotional commitments as these are intended to be Christ-following--"faith-commitments" for short), and (b) that which one believes on faith. The latter as included within the former.

(3) What does this mean: "understanding"? To understand is to know what something means and what would entitle one to believe it.
