For more about Fr Justin, see here and here. Aaron Taylor has very interesting and informative posts about lectures given by Fr Justin here and here. Other blog posts about his lectures can be found here, here, and here.

N. B. "Fr Justin Sinaites" means "Fr Justin of Sinai," and not, as I had once thought, "Fr Justin of the infected sinuses."
