Would you be able to go into more detail on his opinions? It would be extremely edifying for myself and others I think, if you and he have time (which you might not, understandably, but if you do, it would be helpful).
it was a while ago, I’d have to reread my copy

Have you seen the integrated blog feature on CF.com? It is useful for that kind of content unless you have your own. Either way, it would be extremely useful.

ChristianForums.com has a facility used by some members including myself for publishing blogs, which is built directly into the forum software. I used it for writing explanations on a few things I found myself explaining excessively in forums like General Theology, and also plan on using it to collect public domain liturgical obscura related to my non-profit group LiturgyWorks.

If you had the time to write a brief review of any of the books we talked about (Orthodox Dogmatic Theology in particular would be useful) that could briefly mention any errors resulting from Lutheran influence, but you weren’t sure where to publish it, the CF.com blogs feature is something I would recommend as being ideal for such a scenario.

Thank you @Phronema

Would you say the literary style is comparable to that of the first four?

Overall, yes. I do think so, but there are of course small nuances since it's a different group of translators. I would say mostly that it is the same though as they're translating a work so I wouldn't think there's much wiggle room. I really can't speak to how accurate the translation is as I'm unable to read/compare it to the original Greek. That said I enjoy this volume as well as the others.

I'd just add that I've found out why there are duplications. I missed this the first time through, but in the introduction it is stated that St. Symeon the New Theologian's writings also appear in Vol. IV because it was and translated from Vol. V by Met. Kallistos Ware, and the original group, and added to Vol. IV. Sister Christina, and her group decided to add it again to Vol. V as that's where it originally appears. So, it looks to have been done purposefully.

Indeed, I should think if you were able to write, for example, a review or other erratum for Orthodox Dogmatic Theology that there would be a vast array of places to publish it, including but not limited to AncientFaith (formerly Ancient Faith Radio, home to blogs and podcasts such as Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy
