Vladimir Solovev, Sergej Bulgakov, Nikolaj Berdjaev, and Semen Frank shared the conviction that Creation is incomplete: humanity must arrive at organizing social life on an eighth day. Thus they prophesied the Universal Church, social Christianity, personalist socialism, and spiritual democracy. Their attempt to avoid any illegitimate confusion between independent rational thought and Christian faith prompted Bulgakov to become an ordained theologian, Berdjaev a philosophical poet, and Frank a Christian realist. Solovev's theosophical attempt to philosophically substantiate faith and consequently eschatological prophecy finds itself in the same tragic predicament as Christian faith in general when amalgamated on a one to one basis with the world. I am to show that this is not the case for any of the three other authors discussed, however, much they did adhere to some of Solovev's major lines of thought. Adapted from the source document.
