Sergius Bulgakov, the pastor who stands behind the epochal theology of Eastern Orthodox sophiology? What better place to look than his own Spiritual Diary, which opens to us the mind and heart of this prolific and original theologian of the twentieth century? This volume, the first of his diaries to be published in English, depicts in illuminating detail Bulgakov's daily life as a priest ministering in exile, the exultations and desolations of his personal prayer life, and his confoundment and pain towards the fate of his homeland ruled by the aggressively atheist Soviet state. In these personal reflections we discover the pastoral matrix from which arose such distinctive features of Bulgakov's mature theology as his theology of Sophia, the Divine Wisdom, as God's mystical presence in creation. Beyond this, however, at its core the Diary is a work of spiritual edification and meditation meant to draw the reader into contemplation. Together with biographical and theological introductions provided by the translators, this volume will serve scholars of Bulgakov and Orthodox theology as well as Christians of all traditions who wish to unite their theology with prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376728015071,"sku":"9781621388517","price":47.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/VLlZmpyjGT9781621388517.webp?v=1789221802"},{"product_id":"the-wisdom-of-god-an-outline-of-sophiology-paperback","title":"The Wisdom of God: An Outline of Sophiology - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSophiology - the philosophical and theological notion of a splendor becoming immanent in the world, through nature, liturgy, prayer, and the arts - has only recently come into its own as an important area of study. For both serious students and those approaching Sophiology for the first time, there can be few better guides than Sergius Bulgakov, who has come to be recognized as one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century. After years of wrestling with Marxian social and economic theory, Bulgakov eventually found refuge in the Russian Orthodox Church and in the theology of Sophia, the Divine Wisdom, as God's mystical presence in creation. Sophiology, as this book shows, is not a rogue theology, but a way of perceiving that which shines through the cosmos: a way that can return metaphysics to postmodern thought and facilitate a (re)union of religion, science, and art. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377616847071,"sku":"9798886770827","price":25.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/mMhyexqi1y9798886770827.webp?v=1789236204"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/sergius-bulgakov.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
