After a short introduction into the use of the term ‘quality’, I distinguish between a private and a public cause from an internal perspective of faith, followed by a discussion of personal and institutional criteria of faith quality from an external perspective. Finally, I conclude by suggesting a framework for these criteria that contributes to a consensus oriented form of public accountability for faith. %U https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/NTT2017.71.303.SCHI
