Burkard M. Zapff 
Micha 

Significant parts of the text of Micah were probably written as part of a book of several prophets & or twelve prophets & and can therefore only be adequately understood and interpreted in that context. A piece of Old Testament theological history thus becomes visible here that was not primarily concerned with the message of a single, individual prophetic figure, but above all with general testimony to YHWH=s speech and action in the history of his people. Zapff demonstrates this by reflecting diachronically on the results of a synchronic interpretation in order to trace the process of the creation of the text of Micah and its theological message.
