Life: Substituted letter in Serbian latinica that wasn't displazing correctly
In 1923, Fr. Justin became the editor of the Orthodox journal ''The Christian Life''; and in this journal appeared his first doctoral dissertation, "The Philosophy and Religion of Dostoevsky," for which he was persecuted at Oxford. Together with his fellow colleagues from the Oxford University he has edited the periodical ''The Christian Life'' for twenty years.
In 1926 he was promoted to the title of the Doctor of Theology at the Faculty of Theology, University in Athens (his dissertation being "Problem li�?nosti ličnosti i saznanja po Sv. Makariju Egipatskom": , ''The Problem of Personality and Cognition According to St. Macarius of Egypt''). For his course on the ''Lives of the Saints'', Justin began to translate into Serbian the ''Lives of the Saints'' from the Greek, Syriac, and Slavonic sources, as well as numerous minor works of the [[Church Fathers|Fathers]]—[[homily|homilies]] of Ss. [[John Chrysostom]], [[Macarius the Great|Macarius]], and [[Isaac of Syria]]. He also wrote an exquisite book, ''The Theory of Knowledge According to St. Isaac''.
From 1930 until 1932 after a stint as Professor in the Theological Academy of Ss. [[Cyril and Methodius]] in Prizren, he was an associate and escort of Bp. Joseph (Cvijovich) of Bitola in reorganizing the Church of the Carpatho-Russians in Czechoslovakia. This area had been besieged by those espousing [[Uniate|Uniatism]], where previously [[convert]]ed Christians of these regions started their conversion back into Orthodoxy.
