Freedom in God: A guide to the thought of Nicholas… by Edgar Leonard Allen
A good introduction to Berdyaev, which served as a nice appetizer for further reading. A right quick read; however, some conclusions are a bit "cold war" dated.
This book wasn't quite what I expected as an introduction to the ideas of some great thinkers who have influenced Western civilization. It seemed, in its conciseness, to be more of a summary for those already somewhat familiar with the writings of these men than an introduction for those who are not. I'm not inclined to recommend this book.
