To explain a bit, I find the quote interseting because I’ve never heard anyone explain faith (he’s talking about Christianity) in quite that way. Also, Berdiaev is often called a “Christian existentialist”, which makes one wonder what Christian existentialism would look like- I think that quote really helps with that.Report
