Sergei Bulgakov, born in Russia in 1871, was one of the principal
Eastern theologians of the twentieth century. At the age of thirty
he was appointed professor of political economy at the University
of Kiev. After a crisis of faith, Bulgakov declared himself an
unbeliever in 1888, but in a slow process he moved from Marxism to
Idealism, and then from Idealism to a rediscovered Orthodoxy. By
the time of the two Revolutions of 1917, Bulgakov was one of the
best known Orthodox theologians in Russia. In 1918 he was ordained
priest, and fled Moscow in danger of imminent arrest. Arriving in
Paris in 1925 he was to live and work there until his death in
1944, his life inextricably bound up with the Russian theological
institute, Saint-Serge, of which he was a founder member and
subsequent professor, rector and dean. In this timely work, Aidan
Nichols introduces the life and work of Bulgakov and provides a
systematic presentation of his dogmatic theology. 'The present book
has appeared at exactly the right moment. Alike in Russia and in
the West, we are witnessing a veritable "Bulgakov renaissance" . .
. this is the first comprehensive and systematic survey of his
theology in English.' Bishop Kallistos of Diokleia 'As research on
Bulgakov by Catholics and Protestants as well as Orthodox grows in
volume, it is a great help to have this authoritative,
comprehensive guide. I hope it will encourage further study and
assimilation of one of the most searching and moving as well as one
of the most complex of modern theological minds.' Dr Rowan
Williams, Archibshop of Canterbury Aidan Nichols, OP, is an English
Dominican of Blackfriars, Cambridge. He has written thirty books,
chiefly on aspects of Catholic theology and theological history,
but also on Eastern Orthodoxy and Anglicanism.
