Isaac’s place in the calendar and in modern learning: his feast on January 28, shared with St. Ephrem the Syrian; the recent Athonite service and his entry into the Roman Martyrology in 2024; and the modern scholarly recovery led by Sebastian Brock and Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev, on the foundation of the Bedjan and CSCO critical editions.
