About this Book

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