In this masterful commentary, respected biblical scholar Bruce Waltke carefully interprets the message of the prophet Micah, building a bridge between Micah's ancient world and our life today. Waltke's Commentary on Micah quickly distinguishes itself from other commentaries on this book by displaying an unprecedented exegetical thoroughness, an expert understanding of historical context, and a keen interest in illuminating the contribution of Micah to Christian theology. Tackling hard questions about date and authorship, Waltke contends that Micah himself wrote and edited the nineteen sermons comprising the book. Waltke's clear analytical outline leads readers through the three cycles of Micah, each beginning with an oracle of doom and ending with an oracle of hope, decisively showing that hope wins over doom. Learned yet amazingly accessible, combining scholarly erudition with passion for Micah's contemporary relevance, this book will well serve teachers, pastors, and students alike.

He is considered one of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Hebrew Bible and was a contemporary of the prophets Isaiah, Amos and Hosea. Micah was from Moresheth-Gath in southwestern Judah. He prophesied during the reigns of kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah. Micah's messages were directed primarily to Jerusalem. (ca. 740-705). However, he is not mentioned in either the book of Kings or Isaiah, but Jer 26:18 quotes Micah's word against the temple, 3:12. No other biographical details of Micah are known. The book can be read as a triple rhythm of announcing judgment and salvation (other scholars see only a double scheme, but cf. the new insertions in 3:1 and 6:1). This scheme is certainly not original, just as the authenticity of whole portions of the entire book is disputed. Thus the larger portions of chs. 4-7 are certainly considered later, and the revisions of Deuteronomy are also seen in chs. 1-3. The content of the Book of Micah is determined by a categorical denunciation of social grievances (like Amos for the Northern Kingdom). Above all, it probably deals with land rights issues (cf. e.g. 2:4f.). The upper class expropriates small farmers by legally impeccable means, but thereby deprives them of the inheritance to which they are entitled from God (cf. above on Ruth). Micah expects God's judgment on Samaria (?), Judah and Jerusalem (not the nations!), he can only imagine YHWH's coming as a destructive work. In a special way in chapter 3, the chiefs, princes and prophets are blamed for the predicament. They should know what is right, but they themselves hate good and love evil (3:2). Also important in Micah, as in Isaiah, is the special significance of the idea of Zion. His opponents take it up with the comment "Is not God in our midst? No evil can come upon us" (3:11). Against this assurance of salvation (cf. Jer 7 in terms of content) Micah announces destruction: "Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins and the Temple Mount a forested hill" (3:12). Chapters 4 and 5, in contrast, focus again on Zion as the guarantee of salvation. The nations will go in pilgrimage to Zion, from there the kingdom of peace will arise. Chapter 5 prophesies the Davidic Messiah of Bethlehem. Chapter 6 summarizes God's demands on His people; 6:8 summarizes this again (probably later), "You, man, are told what is good and what the Lord requires of you: to do nothing but what is right (מִשְׁפָּט, mispāt) and to love what is good and to walk visibly with God." This phrase is considered in Judaism to be the sum total of the 613 commandments of the Torah. The liturgical form added in ch. 7 possibly goes back to a special redaction that used and revised the Book of Micah for exilic laments.

This volume brings gender studies to bear on Micah’s powerful rhetoric, interpreting the book within its ancient and modern contexts. Julia M. O’Brien traces resonances of Micah’s language within the Persian Period community in which the book was composed, evaluating recent study of the period and the dynamics of power reflected in ancient sources. Also sampling the book’s reception by diverse readers in various time periods, she considers the real-life implications of Micah’s gender constructs. By bringing the ancient and modern contexts of Micah into view, the volume encourages readers to reflect on the significance of Micah’s construction of the world. Micah’s perspective on sin, salvation, the human condition, and the nature of YHWH affects the way people live—in part by shaping their own thought and in part by shaping the power structures in which they live. O’Brien’s engagement with Micah invites readers to discern in community their own hopes and dreams: What is justice? What should the future look like? What should we hope for? From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid all readers in their advancement toward God’s vision of dignity, equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority, ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from different parts of the world, showing the importance of social location in the process of interpretation and that there is no single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

This new addition to the FOTL commentary series presents a complete form-critical analysis of the book of Micah. Ehud Ben Zvi looks at how Micah was read by its ancient audience and explores the social setting that stands behind it. His various lines of investigation lead to a deeper understanding of Micah and its enduring message. Ben Zvi explores the prophetic book of Micah as a written document that presents itself as YHWH's word. The commentary deals extensively not only with the message of Micah, but also with the social setting of its authorship and primary readership and with the social function of this and other prophetic books in ancient Israel. - Publisher.

The study of the eighth-century prophets has experienced major changes over the past five decades. In these articles, published during a time when traditional methods of reading these texts gave way to new interests and approaches, John Willis addresses some of the major challenges facing interpreters of the prophetic works as coherent books. The careful attention to detail in the biblical texts themselves and in the history of scholarship shown in these essays offers a helpful model for scholars seeking to understand the ancient texts and appropriate them for new conditions.
