What is the origin of the idiom "leap of faith" and when to use it?
The idiom "leap of faith" was popularized by the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard in the 19th century, but its origins can be traced to religious and philosophical discussions on the idea of taking a step into the unknown, often associated with religious beliefs and trust in a higher power. This expression is used to describe a situation where someone makes a decision or takes an action despite a lack of concrete evidence or absolute certainty.
