Unworthy as I am and If I can be so bold as to suggest that Fr. Thomas Hopko was always about the Orthodox listening/studying and making informed decisions. He'd often give a talk and let the people decide if what he said was "Orthodox." I've taken that into consideration when I've read/heard other Orthodox books/talks, etc. In his forward, found in the Orthodox Church (by Bulgakov), Father Thomas Hopko states: ...Those who are serious in their seekings, whether their theological and spiritual convictions, are obligated at some point to come to terms with Fr Sergius Bulgakov. The results for the courageous cannot fail to be enlightening and inspiring: perhaps not in the ways that the Russian thinker imagined but in ways known to the Master he served..." While one may be labeled as a heretic, not all their work is heretical. If SVS Press and Fr. Tom endorse some of his works, I would think that we should tread carefully in our readings of any works, whether by Bulgakov or any author for that matter. Rhonda's caution should be strongly heeded if you decide to purchase, but be sure to compare his teachings to other teachings of the Church. Any heresy should become obvious. Please forgive me!

This collection is very prominent with texts by Sergius Bulgakov. All but 3 were written by him. Bulgakov was condemned by the Russian Orthodox Church as a heretic for the heresy of sophianism (uniting together of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary into a single deity or hypostasis of God). Therefore, I cannot recommend this set, especially for those unfamiliar with Eastern Orthodoxy.
