 Telegraph | News | Adam Faith
Adam Faith, who has died aged 62, made his mark successively as an actor, pop manager, financial adviser and columnist, and latterly, digital media entrepreneur; prior to any of these personae, however, he was, with Cliff Richard, Britain's first home-grown teen pop idol.
Faith sprang to fame in the late 1950s, after an edition of the television music show 6.5 Special was broadcast from the Soho espresso bar where Faith's skiffle group was the house band.
Faith's wafer-thin pop sound was soon overtaken in popularity by Merseybeat, and by the mid-Sixties he had virtually given up singing, but by then he had already helped to usher in a new era in both British music and social history.

The demand to be both Adam I and Adam II leads to a built-in tension in the life of each person responsive to this call; and because one lives with a constant dialectic, a continual oscillation between two modes of existence, one can never fully realize the goals of either Adam I or Adam II.
The contemporary man of faith, however, experiences a particular kind of loneliness due to his historical circumstances, and this "historical loneliness" is a purely negative phenomenon.
Contemporary society speaks the language of Adam I, of cultural achievement, and is unable or unwilling to understand the language of Adam II, of the uniqueness and autonomy of faith.

The fall of Adam's family set humanity on a long, dark course of indemnity before God was able to choose a family out of the lineage of Seth to restore Adam's.
Noah had great faith in the word of God and invested himself completely in building the ark, even though the people of his time, including his own family, found it ludicrous to build a huge boat on a mountain when there was no evidence of a flood to come.
Noah was chosen by God to lay a foundation of faith to restore Adam's lost faith and renew the faith of Abel, but his sons had to make a foundation of substance to restore the failure of Cain and Abel.
