A Must See Video: The Best Brief Summary of Nikolai Berdyaev I Have Ever Encountered

4/5/2022

This short, five-minute video is a total "must watch". This applies even if you are not particularly interested in or drawn to the works or philosophy of Nikolai Berdyaev. 

The gentleman presenting the brief summary of Berdyaev's biography and thought is Deacon Bob Beehner. The content Deacon Beehner discusses is accurate and interesting, but what moved me personally was the way the man presented the information. 

Deacon Bob begins the video with a warm good morning and a smile. He is sitting in what appears to be the family kitchen. Soon after he begins outlining some biographical details about Berdyaev, the off-camera space in the kitchen unexpectedly comes to life.

A toddler's voice flares up in the background. Eventually, it is interspersed with the hushed voice of what appears to be the child's mother.

A moment later, the toddler -- presumably Deacon Bob's grandson -- pops up on camera.

What happens after that is pure gold.

The child ends up on his grandfather's knee, and Deacon Bob continues his discussion without missing a beat. Not even the meowing cat can knock him off course! 

Truth, beauty, goodness -- this little video has it all!

Bob Beehner is a Catholic deacon who has his own You Tube channel on which he uploads videos about Christian saints and thinkers. Unsurprisingly, his videos receive barely any views.

By the same token, his brief summaries are some of the most charming and engaging I have ever had the pleasure of stumbling upon.
