About This Item
Eerdmans Publishing Company, November 2001. Paper Back. New. With the completion of this book, together with his earlier labor in translating Florensky's <i>Pillar and Ground of the Truth</i>, Boris Jakim has transmitted a significant portion of the fruit of the Russian religious renaissance of the early twentieth century to the English-speaking world. The eschatological context and emphasis (Rev. 21:9-11) of this, the culmination of Bulgakov's thought, and its creation and appearance in the ''eschaton'' of his own life, casts clear light on the themes that were of utmost importance to him (and their contemporary relevance is striking): ''What else can I say? The truths contained in the revelation of Divine-humanity... are so unshakeable and universal that even the most shattering events of world history, which we are now witnessing, pale and a nullified in their ontological significance insofar as we perceive these events in the light of that which is to come. And that which is to come is the Church in its power and glory, together with the transfiguration of creation.'' Bulgakov's speculations on Divine Wisdom (the ''sophiology'' which earned him considerable notoriety), do not begin to exhaust or diminish the freshness and power of his readings of the dogmas of creation, providence, freedom and predestination, the nature of the Church, death and the state after death, the Second Coming, and eschatology proper. 531 pp.
