Eucharistic Sacrifice

Sergius Bulgakov's The Eucharistic Sacrifice is an original intervention in the debate around the Eucharist as sacrifice, rooted in his distinctive theological vision. He argues that the Eucharist is an extension of the sacrificial, self-giving love of God in the Trinity and that both the Last Supper and the crucifixion are part of a single act that occurs outside of time. This translation will appeal to scholars and students of theology, ecumenism, and Russian religious thought.

The Eucharistic Sacrifice, penned by the renowned Russian theologian Sergius Bulgakov, emerges as a groundbreaking and thought-provoking exploration of the Eucharist as a sacrificial offering. This seminal work, originally written in 1940, represents the final and most discerning expression of Bulgakov's profound theological vision on the Eucharist. At the heart of his primary thesis, Bulgakov asserts that the Eucharist is an extension of the self-giving love of God in the Trinity, a concept he famously refers to as "kenosis." Throughout the book, Bulgakov highlights the interconnectedness of the Eucharistic sacrifice at the Last Supper with the actual crucifixion of Christ, emphasizing that both events transcends the confines of time. This third volume, which was previously unavailable in English, completes Bulgakov's trilogy on the Eucharist, preceded by The Eucharistic Dogma and The Holy Grail. The introduction provides a concise account of Bulgakov's theological journey and outlines the structure of The Eucharistic Sacrifice, making it an accessible and valuable resource for scholars and students of theology, ecumenism, and Russian religious thought.
