The '''Book of Isaiah''' (written between 739 and 475 B.C.) is the most [[Prophet|prophetic]] book in history, and a stellar example of the "[[best of the public]]" in both its authorship and its message. It is the second-longest (66 chapters) in the [[Bible]] (behind [[Psalms]]) and the longest with a single author. Its authenticity was confirmed by the spectacular discovery of the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] in 1947 near the [[Dead Sea]] in the [[Middle East]] where this book, called the "Great Isaiah Scroll" or Isaiah scroll 1QIsa<sup>a</sup>, is the only complete book in that immense collection.
