Book of Isaiah
Isaiah (UK: /aɪˈzaɪ.ə/ or US: /aɪˈzeɪ.ə/;[4][5] Hebrew: יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, Yəšaʿyāhū, "Yahweh is salvation";[6] also known as Isaias[7] or Esaias[8] from Greek: Ἠσαΐας) was the 8th-century BC Israelite prophet after whom the Book of Isaiah is named.[9][10]
The text of the Book of Isaiah refers to Isaiah as "the prophet",[11] but the exact relationship between the Book of Isaiah and the actual prophet Isaiah is complicated. The traditional view is that all 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah were written by one man, Isaiah, possibly in two periods between 740 BC and c. 686 BC, separated by approximately 15 years.
Another widely held view suggests that parts of the first half of the book (chapters 1–39) originated with the historical prophet, interspersed with prose commentaries written in the time of King Josiah 100 years later, and that the remainder of the book dates from immediately before and immediately after the end of the 6th-century BC exile in Babylon (almost two centuries after the time of the historical prophet), and that perhaps these later chapters represent the work of an ongoing school of prophets who prophesied in accordance with his prophecies.[a]
