	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Protestantism
		Confessions of faith, symbols, and catechism were set up everywhere, and were invariably backed by the secular power.
		This is recognized, among others, by J. Blunt, who writes: "The mere existence of such confessions of faith as binding on all or any of the members of the Christian community is inconsistent with the great principles on which the Protestant bodies justified their separation from the Church, the right of private judgment.
		The spirit of Christian charity, however, gradually leavened the heathen mass, softening the hearts of rulers and improving the condition of the ruled, especially of the poor, the slave, the prisoner.

		In an effort to classify these several meanings of faith in the language of the Bible and in the usage of the creeds and confessions of the churches, the systematic theologians of the Reformation tradition distinguish among three closely interrelated senses of the word: faith as knowledge, as assent, and as trust.

		Theonomy is a view of Christian ethics associated with Christian Reconstructionism, most noted for its attempts to show how the ethical standards of the Old Testament are applicable to modern society, including the Standing Laws of the Old Testament, as well as its general ethical principles.
		It makes a similar basic interpretive assumption as historic Covenant theology, which is the approach to biblical interpretation associated with the Reformed Christian confessions of faith.
		These two works, together with other writings, influenced a number of Christian political activists and prolific writers, who proposed their own elaborations of the idea, developing specific answers to contemporary social, political and economic issues, on the basis of their understandings of Biblical Law.

		It is in contrast with synergism, the view that there is a cooperation between the divine and the human in the regeneration process.
		This grace works independently of any human cooperation and conveys that power into the fallen soul whereby the person who is to be saved is effectually enabled to respond to the gospel call (John 1:13; Acts 2:39, 13:48; Rom 9:16).
		It is that supernatural power of God alone whereby we are granted the spiritual ability to comply with the conditions of the covenant of grace; that is, to apprehend the Redeemer by a living faith, to come up to the terms of salvation, to repent of idols and to love God and the Mediator supremely.
