Relics and Miracles: Two Theological Essays - Sergius Bulgakov

Descriere Relics and Miracles: Two Theological Essays - Sergius Bulgakov

Boris Jakim here presents two major theological essays by Russian Orthodox theologian Sergius Bulgakov in English translation for the first time. \nOn 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. \n \nBoth 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. \nBoris Jakim here presents two major theological essays by Russian Orthodox theologian Sergius Bulgakov in English translation for the first time. \n \nOn 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.
