Reviews

"Mark Roosien's work here is a model in theological translation.... His introduction places the text not only in the context of the author's life, but also in the context of Bulgakov's unfolding eucharistic theology, of which this text is the final expression. With this translation, we have another key piece available to the English-speaking world of the work of one the most creative theological authors of the previous century, and one whose vision is only now entering into the main currents of ecumenical and systematic reflection." —Modern Theology "There simply is nothing like The Eucharistic Sacrifice available in English." —John Behr, author of John the Theologian and His Paschal Gospel
