"The Friend of the Bridegroom" offers a compelling theological
interpretation of John the Baptist as seen through the eyes of
Eastern Orthodoxy. Written by Sergius Bulgakov, the greatest
Russian theologian of modern times, this book sheds new light on
the mission and meaning of John the Baptist, commonly referred to
in Orthodoxy as the Forerunner of the Lord. Bulgakov traces the
Baptist's life from beginning to end -- his birth, his preaching of
repentance, his baptism of the Lord, his agony, his death, and his
veneration in the context of Eastern Orthodoxy. In addition to its
use of the Gospel narratives, Bulgakov's profound portrait of the
Baptist is colored by sacred tradition as it is embodied in
patristic literature, in liturgy, and in iconography. Yet this is
not a work of arcane scholarship intended just for academic
readers. Typical of all of Bulgakov's books, "The Friend of the
Bridegroom" is steeped in devotional language and holy awe. In the
words of translator Boris Jakim, it is a work of prayer that will
stir the souls of Christians everywhere.
