Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this work is to determine when the Serbs realized the true value of Justin Popović (1894–1979), one of the greatest Serbian ascetics and theologians. The first records of Fr Justin Popović among the Serbs appeared in the theological press, a few years after the publication of his Dogmatics of Orthodox Church (1932). At the time of the communist rule, it was not allowed to write about him. There is no mention of his name in the post-war encyclopaedia of Yugoslavia. The first piece on Justin Popović appeared in the journal Theology from the pen of the theologian and dogmatician Stojan Gošević in 1980. The first, but modest book about Archimandrite Justin Popović was compiled by engineer Aleksandar Mladenović and originated in Australia after his death (1980). Several works on the life and work of Fr Justin Popović were published in the journal Voice of the Church in 1989, while the first monograph dedicated to him in Serbia was edited and published in 1993 by the Monastery of Ćelije.
