AFAIK it was coined by Soren Kierkegaard and in a very simplistic way means to believe in something that cant be proven and have like trust in the outcome.There’s much more to that phrase though isn’t there?.
To stay within the framework of the expression, when you take a “leap of faith,” you jump, not knowing where you’re going to land, but believing that there will be ground under your feet when you do land, because someone that you trust said that there would be. People sometimes equate this with “blind faith,” but as Christians understand faith, it is by no means blind; it is based on promises that the believers deem to be trustworthy.
