Abstract
What this essay attempts to examine, through a negotiation with the work of de Certeau on the nature of ‘weak believing’ in a post-Cartesian world, are the cultural transformations in the production of belief. It begins with a glimpse at our contemporary ‘mediated’ society and then explores de Certeau's work (from the late 1960s to the 1980s) on the dissemination of the event of Christ and the varieties of believing it generated. It raises the question of what does it mean to say ‘Credo’ today when the ecclesial is displaced as the dominant site for the production of belief by civil society, the secular state, and the diversification of institutionalised expertise. In conversation with de Certeau's work, it attempts to answer that question.
