The Australian church and nation face difficult times. National reconciliation, the place of worship in contemporary mission, injustice at work through work-related death, grief and bullying, the tension between business and theological understandings of corporate governance, and the suffering brought by post-traumatic stress to victims and perpetrators of violence challenge the foundations of modern life. While a great distance lies between contemporary Australia and the situations of ancient Israel evident in the Book of Isaiah, the poetic structure of voices in Isaiah can speak across that distance. The authors have listened both to Isaiahs ancient voice and the voices of those struggling with todays difficult times in ways that call the church to rethink with imagination its prophetic role in society.
