This book seeks to examine the mutual interplay between existentialism and Christian belief as seen through the work of three existentialist thinkers who were also committed Christians - a Spaniard (Miguel de Unamuno), a Russian (Nikolai Berdyaev), and a Frenchman (Gabriel Marcel). They are compared with each other and with leading non-religious existentialists. The major themes studied include reason, freedom, the self, belief, hope, love, suffering, and immortality.
"Unamuno, Berdyaev, Marcel is impressive in terms of its scholarship and scope, drawing, as it does, on philosophy, literature, theology and intellectual history. It constitutes a much-needed volume, addressing a critically neglected facet of existentialist thought through a highly convincing analysis of how these three writers shaped existentialism in distinct and important ways."
