description: Few Christians thoroughly comprehend this Old Testament prophet. Yet his message seems urgently designed for our post-modern world—and perhaps for the contemporary Church? The great Benedictine writer, Dom Hubert van Zeller, was a he easily made sense of dense Scripture texts. He explains that Isaias (or Isaiah, in some newer Bible translations) has for centuries been obscured behind a bleak portrait. Isaiah was surely stern, van Zeller shows. But he was so much Skilled in the art of dealing with others who feared doing the right thing. A man who synthesized big problems and explained their roots to people of goodwill. One who could distinguish a minor problem from a major one. A prophet who discerned "the sum of man's duty" and permitted no one to forget it.
