Summary/Abstract: The article is aimed at answering the question if the Babylonian texts, depicting Marduk as the creator of the world, had any influence on the text and theology of the Book of Deutero- Isaiah. In these texts Marduk speaks about himself as the creator and master of the whole world. Some contemporary exegetes, who have compared Babylonian texts with the text of the Book of Deutero-Isaiah, want to see their influence on the editing and theology of this Book.
