Commentary
"The prophet of holiness" is the title often given to Isaiah. He might also be called "the prophet of contrasts" -- the contrasts being the absolute holiness of God and the absolute sinfulness of humanity. Isaiah's understanding of these contrasts comes out of his own encounter with God, described here in chapter 6. The book might well have begun with this chapter since nearly all that follows stems from the experience of his call to be a prophet.
