The Book of Isaiah as we now have it covers a period in the monarchy of Judah, the Babylonian Exile and the early post-Exilic period. The Book as first written, by the author now known as 1 Isaiah or First Isaiah, generally covers chapters 1 to 39 of the present book.

There is general agreement that Isaiah 1-39 is composed of smaller collections of prophetic oracles, autobiographical and biographical materials representing Isaiah's work or reports on his work by disciples, and some non-Isaianic writings which are readily recognised because they contradict sayings of Isaiah to which they have been appended or because they portray idealistic, eschatological pictures of the restoration of Judah, indicating that they come from the Exilic or post-Exilic period.

The most important themes of 1 Isaiah were the moral and social evils of the time, and the fear of war and annihilation.

AnswerThe first part of Isaiah deals with the theme of condemnation and warning. Immorality, oppression of poor people, and selfish living dominated the society of the day. Isaiah warns of the judgement for such unholy living, but presents the hope of salvation.
