The book of the prophet Micah consists of 7 chapters and covers the period from the beginning of the reign of Jotham to the end of the reign of Hezekiah, when Israel with the capital Samaria was captured by the Assyrians. These prophecies can be divided into: 1) a prediction of the coming fall of the kingdom; 2) public corruption, especially supported by false prophets; 3) a prophecy about Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah.

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.

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.

The final text of the Book of Micah provokes a series of questions: - Can the Book be read as a coherent composition or is it the result of a complex redaction history? - Was Micah a prophet of doom whose literary heritage was later softened by the inclusion of oracles of salvation? The essays in this book center around these questions. Some of them are of a more general character, while others analyze specific passages. Some articles discuss the Book of Micah by looking at specific themes (prophecy; religious polemics; metaphors). The others are concerned with the proclamation of a peaceful future (Micah 4:1-5); the famous moral incentive in Micah 6:8 and the question of prophetic and divine gender in Micah 7:8-13. They have two features in common: - A thorough reading of the Hebrew text informed by grammar and syntax. - A comparative approach: the Book of Micah is seen as part of the ancient Near Eastern culture. All in all, the author defends the view that the Book of Micah contains three independent literary elements: Micah 1: a prophecy of doom; Micah 2-5 a two-sided futurology, and 6-8 a later appropriation of Micah’s message.

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.

Christians want to know Christ from the Old Testament, from Micah, and the other minor prophets. And yet for many of us the minor prophets are like a sealed book. The inspired writing of the minor prophets are addressed to the people of God and addressed to us also in the New Testament church. As inspired scripture they indeed speak of Christ: Micah does so extensively, and not only in the obvious reference to Bethlehem in chapter 5:2.The prophet Micah proclaims the incomparable God of judgment and mercy. This God is our God, the God of all who believe in Jesus Christ. And this prophecy has vital lessons to teach us today.

One of the twelve Minor Prophets, Micah unwaveringly spoke God's message to Israel--a message filled with judgment but also laced with the promise of redemption. Micah combined poetic complexity and literary sophistication to compel his audience to respond. And now, through an exacting linguistic and literary analysis of the biblical text, coauthors Francis I. Andersen and David Noel Freedman explain what Micah meant to his contemporaries, as well as what his message means to readers today. What sets Micah apart is the attention it pays to the details of the prophet's original text. The commentary is descriptive rather than speculative, philological rather than theological. With unusual care, the authors--two of the world's leading Bible scholars--examine the features of Micah's biblical Hebrew and prophetic discourse. They discover the use of a special kind of language, which, in its poetic composition, differs significantly from the language of classical Hebrew prose. At the zenith of their careers, masters of all relevant disciplines, Andersen and Freedman are the perfect duo to unlock the words of this challenging prophet.
