Funny you should ask. I have his Justifications of the Old Believers translated. But I will need another week or two before I can share the Amazon link as there are still some essential fixes that need to happen. This book is around 300 pages and deals equally with Nikonian and Priestless Old Believer objections. I am also working on Melnikov's Short History of the Old Believer Church, which is a traditional prose style book, rather than the "question and answer" format of the St. Arseny book. Melnikov also wrote a subsequently banned anti-Nikonian polemic called "Wandering Theology" that looks at actual Nikonian teachings on all the basic areas of Church theology, so it is filled with direct quotations, and is very long, and frankly, gives me a headache. It is a difficult book both to read and to stomach, and I doubt I will get around to that one. But who knows.
Me too! Not quite 3/4 of the way... Hardly brief, though, is it? :) I hope you publish it when it is complete. That way, I can move on to something else... We need all the books we can get, and Melnikov is a very thorough polemicist. I tried starting Wandering Theology, but it gives me a headache! He was wonderful...
Yes we do! Yes I am going to be publishing it once it’s complete. Working on a copyright. Also I translated Vladyka Innokenty’s defense against Nikonian missionaries slandering our Metropolitan Ambrose.
Also translated St.Arseny’s biography, one I found is a bit different from what you’ve translated, his work in Acceptance of Metropolitan Ambrose is also translated. With help of Fr Georgy in Australia, perfecting all of my errors for me. 😀
I would love to see you publish some of his writings. I am in the Nikonian church and I was wondering to myself why the Old Believers don’t evangelize so it was interesting to see here that they do. I assumed they didn’t mostly due to political pressure.
I would be interested to see some of the polemics. I certainly agree that the Nikonian Church did wrong by the Old Believers but I would be interested to see what the polemics are firsthand about why Old Believers don’t believe that the Nikonian church is the church.

I’m currently working on Melnikovs Brief History and almost done with it.

When I finish formatting the Karabinovich Law of God, can I send you a pdf to glance at?
Absolutely! I would be honored. Thank you!
Wonderful! Please send me the links once published. I would love to buy them once available.
