The author analyzes the current world situation as one of the increased and increasing complexity, in which traditional answers and solutions can no longer hold. He concludes that new ways of responding are needed in a world that is dominated by one superpower and shaped by a tapestry of local crises. The OT prophet Isaiah responds to a similar situation where a move from isolationism and focus on one nation to internationalism is needed. This provides a matrix for Leslie Griffiths' plea for a radical new way of considering the troubled situations in our world.
