'When the author defines "faith" as assurance of the hoped-for and conviction of the unseen, the "hoped-for" and "unseen" realities are not some otherwise unknown truth, proposition, or prediction but the concrete vindication of obedience. "Faith" is obeying when it is not "visible" that it "pays" or "works."'
- The Politics of Jesus, p.129 footnote 30
We might give that interpretive suggestion a trial run by reading Hebrews chapter 11!
