Albo’s Sepher Ikrim presented religious-philosophical problems in a clear form that made them accessible and comprehensible to all. According to Zinberg; “[Sepher Ikrim] is a popular work, permeated with the heartfelt accents of the inspired preacher.” For a brief examination of Albo’s philosophies and the thinkers upon whose ideas he built, see I. Zinberg, A History of Jewish Literature, Vol. III (1974) pp. 233-239
