“The Book of Isaiah is beautiful, extraordinary, and yet difficult. [...]This book principally seeks to present the guidance of the Church Fathers, since they fully support and reaffirm our Christian faith as set forth in the New Testament and in our liturgies. Orthodox Christians, in particular, rely on their insights. [...]For the Fathers, each verse in Isaiah begins and ends in Christ, who is the cornerstone, the head and foundation of our faith[...].” —“Introduction”
