Abstract
The article elaborates on the notion of beauty in the Russian Orthodox context of sophiology as one of the theological streams of the modern period. It explores a sophiological understanding of beauty in the work of two significant Russian Orthodox priests and close friends, Sergei Bulgakov and Pavel Florensky. It also brings into the discussion the unconventional voice of Bulgakov’s spiritual daughter, the Orthodox nun Mother Maria Skobtsova. It shows their understanding of the beauty that is manifested in creation, in people, and in human creativity and love. It also answers the question of what kind of beauty saves the world and how we distinguish beauty from ugliness and mere aestheticism.
