This first English translation represents Sergius Bulgakov’s
final, fully developed word on the Eucharist. The debate around the
controversial doctrine of the Eucharist as sacrifice has dogged
relations between Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches since
the Reformation. In The Eucharistic Sacrifice, the famous Russian
theologian Sergius Bulgakov cuts through long-standing polemics
surrounding the notion of the Eucharist as sacrifice and offers a
stunningly original intervention rooted in his distinctive
theological vision. This work, written in 1940, belongs to
Bulgakov’s late period and is his last, and most discerning, word
on eucharistic theology. His primary thesis is that the Eucharist
is an extension of the sacrificial, self-giving love of God in the
Trinity, or what he famously refers to as kenosis. Throughout the
book, Bulgakov points to the fact that, although the eucharistic
sacrifice at the Last Supper took place in time before the actual
crucifixion of Christ, both events are part of a single act that
occurs outside of time. This is Bulgakov’s concluding volume of
three works on the Eucharist. The other two, The Eucharistic Dogma
and The Holy Grail, were translated and published together in 1997.
This third volume was only first published in the original Russian
version in 2005 and has remained unavailable in English until now.
The introduction provides a brief history of Bulgakov’s
theological career and a description of the structure of The
Eucharistic Sacrifice. This clear and accessible translation will
appeal to scholars and students of theology, ecumenism, and Russian
religious thought.
