Study Note
The definition 'faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see' opens the 'hall of faith' chapter, which illustrates the definition through Old Testament examples. The Greek 'hypostasis' (confidence/substance) is a philosophical term meaning the underlying reality of something — faith is presented as the substantiating of hope rather than merely the believing of it. 'Elenchos' (assurance/evidence) is a legal term for proof or conviction, applying evidentiary language to the unseen. The definition has shaped Christian epistemology: not intellectual certainty about the visible, but oriented trust toward the promised yet unseen, grounded in the character of the promise-maker.
