The inevitablity that faith should be described by reason

"The so-called 'faith and reason' problem appeared both in the history of philosophy and in the history of Christian apologetics as the problem of how apologists defended Christianity against Greek philosophy." (Smito Haruna 1980)

The understanding of faith and reason described here, namely the recognition that "the faith-reason problem in Christianity has its roots in the existence of a Greek intellect that does not understand Christianity," is fundamental to dealing with this problem.

In other words, the discussion of the problem between Christian faith and reason in general is based on the demand to answer questions from such different intelligences, and it means dealing with intelligences that find Christian theology and faith "incomprehensible".

It follows that the description of "faith and reason" must be done in terms that are understandable to such a non-Christian intellect.
