Many scholars believe the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) was actually written by more than one person, over a period of several hundred years, and they have divided Isaiah into three sections: chapters 1 to 39 are believed to have been written by one author, most likely the original Prophet Isaiah around the 8th century BCE; chapters 40-55, often called "Deutero-Isaiah," are of a slightly different style and contain references that lead scholars to attribute it to the 6th century BCE; and chapters 56-66 are by a third author (or possibly authors) after the Israelites returned from exile.
