Ehud Ben Zvi

Micah (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ehud Ben Zvi explores the prophetic book of Micah as a written document that presents itself as YHWH's word. He examines how Micah was read by its ancient audience and explores the social setting upon which the biblical book stands. Emphasis is placed on the construction of the past, on the images of the future, and on the relevance of both of these to the current community of readers for whom the book was intended. The commentary not only deals extensively with the message of Micah but with the social function of this and other prophetic books in ancient Israel. Ben Zvi's various lines of investigation lead to a deeper understanding of Micah and its enduring message.
