The Coherence of the Book of Micah

"Conventionally the book of Micah has been seen as a collection of otherwise unconnected pericopes. This study is a challenge to that conventional wisdom. Utilizing the methods of literary criticism, it demonstrates the coherence of Micah and provides a precise description of the specific literary features by which that coherence is expressed. Because the book of Micah is demonstrably a unified work, a proper interpretation requires discerning the meaning both of each pericope and the relationship extant between those units."
