“We present the Notes authentically, as we have found them in the manuscripts (our words inserted in the text, as clarification, are put between the slashes /.../; all the footnotes are ours).—In the appendix we present the facsimiles of the majority of Abba’s Notes which were supposed to be included in his book On Ecumenism, (written in haste then, but now significantly supplemented with these Notes. The Notes make evident the full extent of Justin’s profundity as a theologian and ecclesiologist of the authentic Orthodoxy).—The real Justin is present in these Notes: by his original language, style, literature, polemics, philosophy, theology, and above all by his confession of the God-man Christ and His Church. He confesses his faith, tradition, experience and his perspective on man, on the world and on Europe—invariably in the Church and from the Church, in the God-man Christ and from Him, just as he did in all of his writings and in his entire life and theologizing.”
