Review of Bulgakov, The Sophiology of Death

by Michael Plekon

Roberto J. De La Noval—a writer and professor of theology at Notre Dame University—is the translator and editor of this volume, a significant contribution to the abundant new scholarship and translation of Sergii Bulgakov’s work. Centering on Bulgakov’s writings about eschatology and the meaning of creation—and its counterpart, death— it includes many essays that are, in the words of John Behr in his endorsement for this volume, “essential for understanding Bulgakov’s approach in exploring the relationships between the Creator and creation, the uncreated and the created, and between life and death and the life of the age to come.”
