Patriarch Iustin paid special attention to publishing activity. He began the great collection "Părinți și scriitori bisericești" (projected to span 90 volumes), as well as the six-volume set "Arta creștină în România". A new synod-approved edition of the Bible appeared in 1982, a new New Testament in 1979, as well as textbooks for higher theological education and for theological seminaries, doctoral theses and devotional books. The Patriarchate's magazines continued to be published, as well as those of the metropolitanates and bulletins for Romanian Orthodox communities abroad.
