Commentary on Micah, A

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 displays 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.

“This commentary offers scrupulously full and thorough exegesis… Here is biblical theology of a very high order indeed.”?

“No one knows the prophecy of Micah more thoroughly than Bruce Waltke… No one is better positioned to be a helpful guide to the correct interpretation and application of this marvelous book.”
