It is, of course, common for people to think of faith in terms of belief, that is, in terms of a proposition or set of propositions to which one either assents or does not. Actually, though, the two words are quite different in both meaning and origin. The word faith can be traced to the Latin word fidere, meaning to trust. Belief comes from an Old English word referring to whatever or whomever one holds dear.
