It discusses the material and formal objects of faith, the intellectual habit of faith compared to doubt, and the reasonability of believing in God. The chapter also touches on faith as a gift, the relationship between faith and works, and delves into the Thomistic perspective on the existence of God and creation ex nihilo.
