Micah: Introduction and Commentary Hardcover – November 14, 2000

by William McKane (Author)
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
See all formats and editions
A comprehensive new translation and commentary by one of today's most widely acclaimed scholars in the field.Professor McKane's work, referring closely to the Hebrew text, the Ancient Versions, and the Jewish medieval commentaries, has a strong textual and lexicographical interest. McKane contends that the Book of Micah represents considerably more than the work of the eighth-century prophet, being developed and supplemented as it discharged a function in the public lament which followed the fall of Jerusalem and in the later prophecies of hope towards the end of the exile.A significant new work for study and reference.

Verified Purchase
I have been reading this commentary and I would probably enjoy it if I did not have to skip over the tons and tons of Hebrew words. I still find it to be alright and it helps me understand the translations. I also don't like that he denies the veracity of scripture for this book, and therefore the commentary lacks proper in my opinion context.
