As the work of Sergii Bulgakov has become more widely available in English, his Trinitarian theology has become a subject of particular interest. This article analyses his less well-known works on the Trinity from the 1920s, arguing that the understanding of Trinitarian doctrine developed there is inseparable from Bulgakov’s analyses of language and consciousness. By analysing Bulgakov’s approach to the Trinity via language, this article will draw particular attention to his negotiation of the notion of divine transcendence. We will see that Bulgakov’s writings on the Trinity display, contrary to received opinion, a deep apophatic tendency, or recognition of divine transcendence. But we will also see that his more thoroughly linguistic approach to the Trinity, in which divine transcendence flows from what it means for God to be Love, contradicts his explicit discussion of divine transcendence elsewhere as a transcendence of the Father alone.

塞尔吉·布尔加科夫的语言三位一体*

随着塞尔吉·布尔加科夫 (Sergii Bulgakov) 著作的英文版本越来越广，他的三位一体神学成为了一个特别令人感兴趣的主题。本文分析了他 1920 年代以来鲜为人知的三位一体著作，认为在那里发展起来的对三位一体教义的理解与布尔加科夫对语言和意识的分析密不可分。本文通过分析布尔加科夫对三位一体的语言方法，将特别关注他对神圣超越概念的谈判。我们将看到布尔加科夫关于三位一体的著作显示出与公认的观点相反的深刻的否定倾向或对神圣超越的认识。但我们也会看到他对三位一体的更彻底的语言方法，其中神圣的超越源于上帝是爱的含义，
