it is translated: " Faith seeking understanding"
St. Anselm's College's motto is 'Fides Quarens Intellectum'.
The motto of Evangelical Theological Faculty is 'Fides Quaerens Intellectum'.
S. J. Tester has written: 'Fides Quaerens Intellectum'
'Fides quod fides' is the phrase. Fides means both trust and faith.
Bona fide literally means "in good faith" in Latin. When we use this phrase in English, it usually means "genuine".
"Fidelis fides" translates to English as "faithful faith" or "loyal trust."
The phrase 'vera tropea fides' contains an error. For the word 'fides' is in the nominative case, as the subject. Instead, it needs to be in the genitive case, of possession. The correct phrase therefore is the following: 'vera tropea fidei'. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'vera' means 'true'; 'tropea' means 'trophies'; and 'fidei' means 'of faith'. The English meaning therefore is the following: the true trophies of faith.
Latin
The Latin phrase for bad faith is mala fides. The Spanish phrase for these words is mala fe and the Italian phrase is malafede.
The Latin word for believe is credo, credere. We get the word "credit" from it.
Both fortune [and] faith is the English equivalent of 'Utraque fortuna fides'. In the word by word translation, the adverb 'utraque' means 'both, each of two'. The noun 'fortuna' means 'fortune'. The noun 'fides' means 'faith'.
