Even So Come
I had the opportunity of discussing Bulgakov’s essay from Sophiology of Death entitled “Even So Come” with Nate Hile. We cover a lot of ground in this discussion, most of which focus on the question of the apocalypse and universalism. It’s a longer conversation but, might be of interest to some:
