Few of the great Russian author Sergius Bulgakov's writings achieve the lyrical heights of Jacob's Ladder. In this book, originally published in 1929, Bulgakov explores the doctrine of angels and their importance for contemporary humanity. He frames his work with meditations on the meaning of love, not as a sentimental indulgence, but as a way of understanding the deep, tender, self-sacrificing, personal knowledge that is both at the heart of a Trinitarian God and in the midst of relationships between human beings and their guardian angels. These discussions on the creation, function, nature, appearances and incorporeality of angels lead also to reflections on the incarnation and human nature, especially the role of the sexes, death, and the Christian hope of resurrection. Jacob's Ladder completes the development of Divine Sophia -- on the Wisdom of God in creation -- begun in The Burning Bush and The Friend of the Bridegroom, which together constitute Bulgakov's first dogmatic trilogy.

Paper Back. Condizione: New. Bulgakov offered theological paens to the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, the most 'angelic' human beings who ever lived, in his Burning Bush and Friend of the Bridegroom; now his dogmatic trilogy fittingly concludes with the angels themselves. Radiant with sheer poetry, each chapter of this new translation unfolds another dimension of the Church's 'doctrine of angels' while sounding a single defining note: love. If 'everything in the world is preserved by angels,' it is because 'angels.love the world which they serve.' From an earthly perspective, the guardian angel most tangibly expresses that reality, for he 'looks into our soul with a loving, gentle, tender, bright and joyful gaze in which the whole power of love shines'--and after death we will finally meet this guardian angel as 'the first enrichment of the spiritual life.by which our soul is strengthened for eternity.' Bulgakov explores various Old Testament 'angelophanies,' when God appears to Abraham, Jacob, and Moses, not face to face, but via his messengers, and he addresses theological questions such as the relationship of angelic hierarchies to the Trinity and how angels are simultaneously created, yet bodiless. However, even his most abstract reflections (like the love the guardian angel bestows upon his human double) are intimately personal: 'for the Lord.wants one thing from his creation--love, and in an angel and a human He wants to have for Himself another, a friend.'.
