The Apocalypse of John: An Essay in Dogmatic Interpretation (Epiphania)

The Russian Orthodox theologian Fr. Sergii Bulgakov's final work The Apocalypse of John is more than an epilogue to his major systematic trilogy On God-humanity. Published posthumously in 1948 this commentary on the final book of the New Testament can be considered the conclusion of his work as a whole. Written in the face of the very apocalypse of life during the Second World War Bulgakov's commentary is not focused on trepidation before final judgement but reflects deeply on the possibility of hope in the midst of the tragedy of human history and joy at the prospects of God's final tr iumph the transfiguration of creation: it is 'the divine story of the victory of the Lamb'.
