Tritoesaya 56-66

With Tritojesaja (Greek: "third Isaiah") biblical research describes a hypothetical independent author of chapters 56 to 66 of the book Isaiah in the Tanakh .

Today's historical-critical research assumes that the book of Isaiah is not literarily uniform, but has grown over the centuries. Chapters 56 to 66 have been viewed as the work of an anonymous prophet in early post- exile Persian times since Bernhard Duhm in 1892 , who would then have been a contemporary of the prophet Malachi . Today it is more likely to be a collection of words from various prophets.

Central to Tritojesaja's message is the question of the future of Jerusalem ; the personification of the city as the daughter of Zion in the promises of salvation is striking . His prophecy is to be set after the return of the people of Israel from the Babylonian exile and the new building of the temple in Jerusalem, i.e. between 521 and 510 BC. Chr.
