The Holy Grail. The Sophialogy of Suffering

The incompatible thinker, the inappropriate theologian, priest and philosopher, protodeacon Sergey Bulgakov is undoubtedly one of the brightest, most controversial, and influential figures in the pantheon of Christian thinkers of the 20th century. His vivid, sharp, and rich thought was nourished primarily by a deep personal experience of Encounter with Christ, Who revealed Himself to him both in joy and in suffering. The extensive theological heritage of Fr. Sergey is still awaiting its profound and grateful study. This important collection is a genuine contribution to that endeavor, dedicated to one of the main aspects of Fr. Sergey's theology and composed by a careful, thoughtful, and loving reader, writer, and publicist, Archimandrite Savva (Mazuko). This collection includes works written by Fr. Sergey Bulgakov in the last years of his life: The Holy Grail, Sophialogy of Death, Christ in the World, Reflections on War, Conversations on the Divine Liturgy, and fragments of diary entries.
