Micah

In this volume Ben Zvi explores the prophetic book of Micah as a written document that presents itself as YHWH’s word. The starting point of this study is that such a written document was meant to be read and reread by an ancient audience, so that commentary begins by addressing the questions of how the book was likely read by its intended or primary readers, why they read it, who read it, and to whom it was read and why.
