The interpretation in this commentary seeks to explain the unique and intended sense of Micah's work but also to place his proclamation in the wider context of the prophets and that of Scripture as a whole. Micah's words should be read carefully in their own right, in their own context. Though Micah shares themes and vocabulary with other passages in Scripture, he has a unique contribution that is far greater than the identification of, or attempted genealogy of, his dependence on others.
This commentary seeks to give Micah his due, carefully tracing the logic of his argument, the many internal links within his book as Micah's own intentional ball of string, which the prophet, as a loving Ariadne, has left for those who would make their way through a book that seems at times like something of a labyrinth.
