The Dead Sea Scrolls are highly accurate in preserving the text of the Book of Isaiah. Scholars have found that the scrolls closely match the traditional Hebrew text of the book, with only minor variations. This suggests that the text of Isaiah has been well preserved over time.

Do the Dead Sea Scrolls prove the Bible incorrect?

No. The Dead Sea Scrolls in themselves do not prove the Bible to be incorrect. They do allow us to confirm the accuracy of some of the earliest biblical texts that we already knew of. The Scrolls contain a pre-Christian copy of the Book of Isaiah. This confirms that the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Bible that Matthew had relied on to 'prove' that Isaiah had prophesied that Jesus was born of a virgin, did contain a mistranslation. The early Christians claimed that the Jews had altered their version of the Book of Isaiah so as to discredit the Gospel According to St. Matthew. We now have evidence that this was not the case and that there was no such prophecy.

How many parts of Isaiah are there?

Religious OpinionsAnswer 1Jewish tradition has always been that the entire book of Isaiah was written by the one and only prophet by that name.Answer 2There is a dissenting religious opinion that the first 39 chapters of the Book of Isaiah were written by one prophet and the remaining chapters of that book were written by a second entirely different prophet. Both of these prophets would be named Isaiah, but be entirely different individuals.Scholarly OpinionsAnswer 1Scholarly analysis shows that there are three different Isaiahs in the Book of Isaiah. The first, occupying chapters 1-39, is termed Proto-Isaiah and is the words of the 8th-century BCE prophet with 7th-century BCE expansions. The second is called Deutero-Isaiah and occupies chapters 40-55. Deutero-Isaiah is believed to be the work of a 6th-century BCE author writing near the end of the Babylonian captivity. The third, finishing the book with chapter 56-66 is named Trito-Isaiah and is believed to have composed the poetry in Jerusalem shortly after the return from exile and may have even been only an aggregator of others' poetry.


What is the theme of Second Isaiah?

The second portion of Isaiah (the latter chapters) speak of the eventual redemption of the Israelites by God. Tradition states that all the chapters of Isaiah were authored by the one Prophet Isaiah. Non-traditional theories claiming more than one author of the Book of Isaiah are based upon zero physical evidence and are refuted by the fact that the Septuagint and the Dead Sea scrolls (and all other ancient sources) include the complete text of Isaiah.
