Most scholars consider that Isaiah was written in two parts. The first half is generally believed to have been written by Isaiah (chapters 1-39) and the second half by another author (chapters 40 to 66). The reason for this is that the chapters 1 to 39 are set before the exile, whereas from chapter 40 onwards, the book looks at a time two hundred years later, after the return of exile.
