Isaiah can refer to:

@@ Line 2: / Line 2: @@
 *[[Isaiah (Biblical book)]], the 23rd book of the [[Old Testament]].
-*[[Isaiah (prophet)]], after whom the Biblical book is named. There are arguments that more than one author composed the book of Isaiah: proponents of this theory normally cite the sudden change in literary style after book 40, and the historical perspective, which before this point describes God's anger and coming vengeance (suggesting a pre-exile viewpoint), and after it, a description of God's coming mercy and forgiveness, which suggests a post-exile viewpoint. The [[Talmud]] <ref>Bava Basra (15a)</ref> states that the book of Isaiah was written by 'King Hezechaiah and his attendants'; a similar view is held by the Catholic Church, which states that it was compiled by later 'disicples of Isaiah'<ref>http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/isaiah/intro.htm</ref>.
