*John W. Welch, ''The Sermon at the Temple and the Sermon on the Mount: A Latter-day Saint Approach'' (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book and FARMS, 1990), 130-44. | *John W. Welch, ''The Sermon at the Temple and the Sermon on the Mount: A Latter-day Saint Approach'' (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book and FARMS, 1990), 130-44. | ||
+ | *Spencer, Joseph M. ''The Vision of All: Twenty-five Lectures on Isaiah in Nephi's Record''. Salt Lake City: Greg Kofford, 2016. This book is remarkable in that, as part of its analysis, it demonstrates clearly that the selection of Isaiah passages in the Book of Mormon is one not done at random but that there is a unifying theme and purpose that drives Nephi's use of Isaiah. | ||
+ | *Sperry, Sidney B. "The ‘Isaiah Problem’ in the Book of Mormon," ''Book of Mormon Compendium''. Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1968. An explanation of the problem and response from Sidney Sperry concerning the "Isaiah Problem." | ||
+ | *Jackson, Kent P. "Isaiah in the Book of Mormon," ''A Reason for Faith: Navigating LDS Doctrine and Church History''. Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 2016. This book chapter responds to common questions about the so-called "Isaiah Problem" and offers resources for further study and help in resolving those questions. | ||
+ | *Carr, David. “Reaching for Unity in Isaiah,” ''Journal for the Study of the Old Testament'' 18, no. 57 (1993): 61–80. There is a large bibliography of scholars who believe in a single Isaiah in notes 3-5 of this article. | ||
+ | *Harrison, R. K. ''Introduction to the Old Testament''. Grant Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1969, 371–78. | ||
+ | *LaSor, W. S., D. A. Hubbard, and F. W. Bush. ''Old Testament Survey''. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1982. | ||
+ | *Parry, Donald; Welch, John W. ''Isaiah in the Book of Mormon''. Provo, UT: FARMS, 1998. One of the largest studies done on Isaiah in the Book of Mormon. John Welch offers his perspective on the "Isaiah Problem" near the end of the volume. | ||
+ | *Adams, Larry L., and Rencher, Alvin A. "A Computer Analysis of the Isaiah Authorship Problem," ''BYU Studies'' 15 (Autumn 1974): 95-102. This analysis takes the English KJV text of Isaiah and through textual analysis argues that there was one singular author of Isaiah. That this study was done with the English translation of Isaiah instead of the original Hebrew is a weakness (though perhaps not necessarily fatal to the authors' arguments). | ||
+ | *Andersen, Francis L. "Style and Authorship," ''The Tyndale Paper'' 21 (June 1976): 2. | ||
+ | *Kissane, E. J. ''The Book of Isaiah''. 2 vols. Dublin, Ireland: 1941, 1943. | ||

+ | *Sears, Joshua M. "Deutero-Isaiah in the Book of Mormon." In ''They Shall Grow Together: The Bible in the Book of Mormon'', ed. Charles Swift and Nicholas J. Frederick. Provo, UT: Religious Studies Center; Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 2022. Perhaps the best treatment on different approaches taken by Latter-day Saints to the problem and resources for reconciling criticism. | ||
