Abstract. The article analyses interpretations of Sophia the Wisdom of God’s image in works of the Russian sophiologists. The study is based on S. N. Bulgakov’s methodology. The researcher examines the key aspects of the Orthodox tradition, which allows revealing the essence of the sophiological disputes concerning interpretation of Sophia the Wisdom of God’s image. The paper argues that critical attitude to the Russian sophiolgy among representatives of the patristic tradition is ungrounded since there is no unified interpretation of Sophia the Wisdom of God’s image in the Orthodox theology. The researcher emphasizes the necessity to develop a comprehensive dogmatic interpretation of this image, so as to achieve deeper understanding of the origins of sophiological thought and to end the dispute around S. N. Bulgakov’s philosophical heritage.
