- Scholars generally accept that the Book of Isaiah was at least partially written by the prophet Isaiah during the eighth century BC. However, there's also evidence that other authors made additions.
In this video, Professor John N. Oswalt tells us why.

You said it, Isaiah saw the future, he was filled with the spirit of God and all time periods were revealed to him, since he was filled with God he was not limited by time and space. He saw the crucifixtion of Jesus 700 years in the future, so therefore Isaiah could have easily written the whole book in his lifetime. There was no limit to what he could see, he was a true prophet of God of the highest order.
Jesus quotes from all three different sections of Isaiah he said Isaiah wrote Isaiah so that settles it
If Prof Oswalt is Jewish then your good point won't get across to him.....
@@gregnathan9830 He said YHWH outloud and mentioned the Holy Spirit so I think he's Christian
Jesus had no problem claiming that Isaiah wrote it and the most amazing prophecy is found in Isaiah chapters 52-53. Only a prophet of God could have written this.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit!
This is very helpful for a class I am taking on this book, thank you, Professor Oswalt.
Isaiah wrote it all, all 66 Dead sea scrolls were all together one Isaiah. He saw the future because God showed it to Him.
That's a faith position, but there is no data to back this up. A scholar can't accept this conclusion without some evidence to support it.
It is recorded by Josephus in his history that Cyrus was presented the scroll of Isaiah with his name in it when he entered babylon.
@@imissyoumom7644 Yes, that may be what Josephus believed.
If that is what Josephus believed, it seems likely that he was mistaken, since large parts of our modern book of Isaiah hadn't yet been written.
@@lostfan5054 lol ok bud.
In the historical account, Antiquities of the Jews, written by Josephus, it records that upon entering Babylon the Jews presented the scroll of Isaiah to Cyrus showing him the prophecy containing his name.
There was only one Isaiah and he was given inspiration by the one who “from the beginning, foretells the outcome.”
If the Dead Sea scrolls were written in 175 BC they were well past events that are described as prophesy
Exactly. That settles it.
We don't just have the dead sea scrolls through
If y'all watch the whole video, Dr. Oswalt actually builds a case for why Isaiah is actually written by a single author
Fascinating
Isaiah wrote the whole book prophetically. Hence hes a prophet.
Isaiah wrote the book him self with done
Have you ever read the text of the Cyrus Cylinder? Apparently Cyrus was under the impression that his patron deity was Marduk, not YHWH. I guess he was just wrong huh? Isaiah would know better than Cyrus which deity he was being aided by in his conquests. Maybe YHWH's "anointed" was allowed to worship Marduk, maybe YHWH wasn't as jealous and covetous of other deities as he let on.
Amen!
He is arguing that Isaiah is high quality literature, and high quality literature is not written by multiple people, therefore it was only written by one person. This is a weak argument. I think parts of Isaiah may be good literature, but other parts of it are extremely hard to follow and extremely dry and banal. Anybody can write literature that is extremely dry and banal, even a committee of people can do that. I think the stronger evidence for Isaiah being written by multiple authors is that prophecy isn't real, and neither is a human that can magically divine the future. But it is very easy for a human to forge a prophecy, pretending that it was written in the past to predict future events. Daniel is a fantastic example of that.
very apt
thank you
Bottom line. Satan hates the truth! Please understand I am not referring to this man or any man as Satan.
God wrote the book of Isaiah, next topic?
Hundreds of Isaiah ? What a load of back bollocks
Good thing that's not what he's saying in this video then
There are no data to support the conclusion that the entire book was the work of a single author.
There’s no evidence that it was written by two or three people😂 just because it predicts the future doesn’t mean that it must’ve been written by someone else
LYDON ISAIA
With all due respect, don't you realize that Isaiah is qouted in the New Testament more than any other Old Testament book! I can say quite a bit more, but it probably would just be an exercise in futility unless God the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to the real TRUTH!
You lie. And you are making God a liar. The book of isaiah was written by one prophet. Stop your confusion and heresy.
He agrees with you! Have you watched the whole video?
God never said Isaiah wrote the book of Isaiah.
@lostfan5054 what prophet do you think wrote it then?
@@johngrey9337 chapters 1-39 contain some work from Isaiah himself. 40-50 were written later, during the exile (about 200 years later) and the rest were written about 70 years after that.
You can see this for yourself. The writers stop calling themselves "Isaiah" after chapter 39. That's because Isaiah didn't write it, and the authors never intended for us to believe Isaiah wrote it.
Yahweh is not the creator of all things invisible or visible or Yahweh would no be getting judged for his idea to make people speak different languages .
Fake! Jesus quoted the beginning of Isiah and John quoted the end of Isiah both refered to as written by Isiah. Nonsense "deutoro" Isaiahs
Who was it that said, A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still?
My Ph.D. dissertation was on the authorship of the book of Isaiah, and my 50 years (now 86) of studying the book, including from the Hebrew text and language of Isaiah's day, confirm the dissertation results. link to article on it is -- rsc.byu.edu/isaiah-prophets/scientific-analysis-isaiah-authorship
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Note that to all replies, it can be said, "What you said, says more about you, than what you said"-- much like paintings by an artist.
Doesn't really matter who wrote it it's definitely a man speaking pretending he's a god speaking but God knows the future and all these prophets talk about future wars with bows, arrows, swords and Chariots so anyone claiming that Isaiah speaks about anything past the time of gun powder they are lying.
How can a virgin woman have a baby? How In the world is an immaculate conception possible
If God can create everything from nothing, and give Abraham a child, what stops Him from being able to do that? (Jeremiah 32:17, 27)
As a Muslim perspective, I will explain. God can perform all miracles. Yet regarding the Virgin Birth in the Quran, it is not explicit that it was a miracle or technological secret known at that time. Another point to make which may be a little out of the box, is God spoke to man in terms he could understand as being primitive at that time. So, what we know as a miracle may actually be a means outside our understanding and capability, but for God he is unlike anything of his creations, and outside of time itself which he created, and able to do all things.
