Sergei (Sergius) Nikolayevich Bulgakov (Russian: Серге́й Никола́евич Булга́ков, IPA: [sʲɪrˈɡʲej nʲɪkɐˈlajɪvʲɪdʑ bʊlˈɡakəf]; 28 July [O.S. 16 July] 1871 – 13 July 1944) was a Russian Orthodox theologian, priest, philosopher, and economist. As a priest, Bulgakov served as a spiritual father and confessor to Maria Skobtsova, who was canonized a saint by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 2004. Bulgakov is best known for his development of sophiology, a theological system centered on Sophia, the Wisdom of God. Orthodox scholar David Bentley Hart has named Bulgakov "the greatest systematic theologian of the twentieth century."
