The Book of Micah

“James Nogalski’s commentary on the book of Micah is nothing less than a masterpiece of modern critical, historical, and theological exegesis. Nogalski takes his readers into the world of the ancient prophet and that of the later tradents of the book. At the same time, he exposes the enduring significance of the book’s message. This is a commentary as it should be.”
—Jakob Wöhrle, professor of Hebrew Bible, Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen
 
“The book of Micah, like prophetic literature in general, presents a unique set of challenges and complexities. James Nogalski’s commentary is a master class in addressing and illuminating these complexities with patience, clarity, and skill. It is an indispensable resource for understanding this important biblical text.”
—Barry Alan Jones, professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, Campbell University Divinity School
 
“The Book of Micah by James Nogalski will soon become the first commentary that scholars consult when studying this prophetic book. It offers a treasure trove of textual and historical insights that showcase the riches of Nogalski’s decades as a leader in the critical study of The Twelve.”
—Andrew T. Abernethy, professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College
 
“Jim Nogalski, one of the leading scholars in the study of the Book of the Twelve, presents an in-depth and insightful study of the book of Micah. While placing the book firmly within its historical setting, Nogalski reminds us of the timeliness of the message of the book for the twenty-first century world in which we live. This commentary will be invaluable for pastors, teachers, and students alike.”
