According to scholars, the Book of Isaiah was a composite work by Isaiah, son of Amoz, as well as two further, unknown authors now known as Second Isaiah and Third Isaiah, whose lives and experiences were separated by many decades.
Isaiah 1:1 introduces the book as the work of Isaiah, son of Amoz, who lived in the reigns of the Judahite kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Because there were three authors of the book, this Isaiah is generally referred to as I Isaiah or First Isaiah. The Book of Isaiah omits the 150 year period from Hezekiah to the fall of Jerusalem and recommences with the Babylonian Exile. The anonymous author of chapters 40-55, covering the period of the Exile, is generally referred to as Second Isaiah. The work of Second Isaiah is completed by a further anonymous author now known as Third Isaiah, who wrote of events immediately following the Exile, in chapters 56-66.

Who predicted the Babylonian Exile?
No-one predicted the Babylonian Captivity. It was once thought that Isaiah did, because he wrote of the times of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, but then began to write of the Babylonian Exile. However, scholars now know that the Book of Isaiah was really written by two different people. Isaiah, known today as First Isaiah for convenience, wrote about the time of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, just as he outlined in the introduction to the Book. Another, anonymous author, living during the Babylonian Exile, added to the Book, based on his personal experiences during the Exile.

Historically, Jews and Christians have passed down the knowledge that Isaiah was the author. Both Jesus and the apostles quoted from the book of Isaiah and referred to Isaiah as the author without question or suggestion there was any other writer involved. The oldest manuscript gives no indication of being written by any other person than the sole author, Isaiah. There is a critical theory called the 'Deutero-Isaiah' theory which postulates that at least two men wrote Isaiah based on a percieved difference of styles between the two sections of Isaiah. Those who maintain Isaiah as the author attribute this only to the change in theme between the two sections and see more similarities than differences.
