Sinopsis

Boris Jakim here presents two major theological essays by Russian Orthodox theologian Sergius Bulgakov in English translation for the first time.'On Holy Relics,' a 1918 response to Bolshevik desecration of the relics of Russian saints, develops a comprehensive theology of holy relics, connecting them with the Incarnation and showing their place in sacramental theology. The second essay, 'On the Gospel Miracles,' written in 1932, presents a Christological doctrine of miracles, focusing on how human activity relates to the works of Christ.Both essays are suffused with Bulgakov?s faith in Christian resurrection - and with his signature 'religious materialism,' in which the corporeal is illuminated by the spiritual and the earthly is transfigured into the heavenly.
