Wikipedia
Isaiah ( or ; ; ˀēšaˁyā; Greek: , Ēsaïās; Arabic: إشعيا As̲h̲aʿyāʾ or S̲h̲aʿyā; " Yah is salvation") was the 8th century BCE Jewish prophet who gave his name to the Book of Isaiah.
The exact relationship between the Book of Isaiah and any such historical Isaiah is complicated. The traditional view is that all 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah were written by one man, Isaiah--possibly in two periods between 740 BCE and c. 686 BCE, separated by approximately 15 years--and includes dramatic prophetic declarations of Cyrus the Great in the Bible, acting to restore the nation of Israel from exile in Babylon. But the widespread, relatively recent view since the mid-1800s sees parts of the first half of the book (chapters 1–39) as originating with the historical prophet, interspersed with prose commentaries written in the time of King Josiah a hundred years later; with the remainder of the book dating from immediately before and immediately after the end of the exile in Babylon, almost two centuries after the time of the original prophet.
Jews and Christians consider the Book of Isaiah a part of their Biblical canon; he is the first listed (although not the earliest) of the Nevi'im Aharonim, the latter prophets. Muslims consider Isaiah a prophet mentioned in Muslim exegesis of canonical scriptures.
Isaiah is the main character in the Biblical Book of Isaiah.
