Excerpt from Journal of Biblical Literature, 1910, Vol. 29: Part II
Some Hebraists may be inclined to say that I have practi cally rewritten the Book of Micah. The same criticism has been made with regard to my restoration of the Biblical Love-songs128 and the Book of Ecclesiastes;129 but the ex cision of later additions and excrescences is not tantamount to rewriting a book. The restoration of an old master merely restores the pristine beauty; and if I rejoin displaced and scattered lines, this restoration is as legitimate as the reconstruction of Hubert and Jan van Eyck's altar of Ghent,130 parts of which are now preserved at Ghent, Berlin, and Brussels. The restoration of the original connection and the elimination of subsequent additions is not a radical destruction of the original, but a conservation. Many an old ceiling carved by the hand of a master has been daubed with plaster and cheap frescoing. If we remove this layer, we do not impair the beauty of the original.

This book delves into a detailed analysis of Micah's poetic prophecies, situating them within the broader context of Judean history and Israelite prophecy.

The book explores the complex interplay between Micah's prophetic message and the political and religious landscape of his time, shedding light on the enduring relevance of his call for justice and compassion. Through a meticulous examination of Micah's poetic style and imagery, the author uncovers the literary artistry and rhetorical strategies employed by the prophet to convey his message effectively. This interdisciplinary study offers valuable insights into the prophetic tradition, the social and political dynamics of ancient Israel, and the enduring power of Micah's prophetic voice.
