Summary/Abstract: Мany years аfter its publishing, Fr Justin Popović’s Dogmatics is still highly valued in the Orthodox world, as testified by the recently published Greek translation of this work. Justin’s Dogmatics is frequently quoted, and it is often presented as a work of standard reference in Orthodoxy. Therefore, this work deserves an impartial consideration. In this paper we intend to provide an analysis of the major areas of Trinitarian theology, Christology, eschatology and ecclesiology. We will attempt to shed light upon some of Justin’s solutions that could be considered insufficiently clear or questionable. We will show that the analysis of the problems which Justin encounters in the presentation of these areas of Dogmatics forms the basis of his vision of the key elements of Christian theology. The weaknesses and shortcomings of this vision are precisely what we will be dealing with, as I am convinced that only a fair critical approach may reveal the real magnitude of his work
