Archimandrite Justin Popovich

Number 4 of Contemporary Christian Thought Series

“For Abba Justin, life in its entirety was a struggle toward the God-man, and at the same time a struggle toward man. It is not humanists, he would say, but those people of theanthropic faith and life who fight for true man. He would add: There is no God without the God-man, nor is there man without the God-man. He bore witness to this pan-Orthodox, God-revealed and Christ-given Eternal Truth both by his life and by his works, in word and in thought. This testimony can be seen within this collection of his articles. ‘The mystery of Truth,’ he wrote, ‘is not in things, not in ideas, not in symbols, but in Personhood, namely the Theanthropic Person of the Lord Christ, Who said: I am the Truth (John 14:6): Truth that is perfect, never diminished, always one and the same in its complete fullness—yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8). All other truths issue forth from this as rays from the sun, by which they themselves are also both immortal and eternal. And likewise the truth of man, both here in history on earth and in eternity in heaven.’”
