The study argues that to persuade Judeans in Babylon that Yahweh, not Marduk, authored Cyrus' victories, and they should move to Judea, the author of Isa 40-48 countered an historiographically advanced ideology that divine embodiment in royally sponsored temples proves divine will, power, and presence. The author rejects any such historiography as based in human faculties; develops a complex notion of divine irreducibility and prophetic ability; and presents it in a text to match.
