Berdyaev Leaned Heavily in Favor of Romantic Christianity
“I have come to Christ through liberty and through an intimate experience of the paths of freedom.
My Christian faith is not a faith based on habit or tradition. It was won through an experience of the inner life of a most painful character.
I knew no compulsion in my religious life, and I had no experience of authoritarianism either in faith or in the sphere of religious devotion.
Can one oppose to this fact dogmatic formulas or abstract theologies?
I answer No, for in my case, they will never be really convincing.”
