Abstract

In his reflection Fr. Józef Tischner devoted much attention to the issue of faith – one of the theological virtues, which are the foundation of the Christian life. Tischner not only described what faith is and what its characteristics are, but also looked into what threatens faith. This article describes the threats to faith according to Fr. Tischner. The paper also makes an attempt to find some solutions as to how to combat these dangers. To overcome them, man needs to root his faith in its source, i.e. the Gospel, and make sure not to move away from it.
