✦ Synopsis

Mark Gignilliat provides a theological commentary on the book of Micah. He begins by reflecting upon the nature of theological commentary in relation to biblical interpretation in two programmatic chapters, before situating Micah within current discussions on the book of the Twelve, focusing specifically on Micah‘s relation with Jonah and Nahum. The next seven chapters are devoted to the interpretation and exegesis of the book of Micah. The commentary addresses literary issues involving the structure, grammar, and textual variants of a given passage, followed by broader theological reflections presented in smaller font. In keeping with the goals of the International Theological Commentary, Gignilliat provides theological commentary on Scripture while retaining the focus upon philological, historical-critical, and textual issues. Gignilliat engages widely with theological discourse and biblical commentary, including the work of Brevard Childs, von Rad and Walter Moberly.
