Christians want to know Christ from the Old Testament, from Micah, and the other minor prophets. And yet for many of us the minor prophets are like a sealed book. The inspired writing of the minor prophets are addressed to the people of God and addressed to us also in the New Testament church. As inspired scripture they indeed speak of Christ: Micah does so extensively, and not only in the obvious reference to Bethlehem in chapter 5:2.
The prophet Micah proclaims the incomparable God of judgment and mercy. This God is our God, the God of all who believe in Jesus Christ. And this prophecy has vital lessons to teach us today.
What others are saying about this book:
"This commentary on an otherwise fairly obscure Old Testament prophet is a gem. Micah’s name means 'Who is like Jehovah?' hence Rev. McGeown’s title Proclaiming the Incomparable God. The author’s accurate and enlightening exposition of the text grants insights into other parts of Scripture, as he brings his Reformed glasses to bear on the prophecy. An excellent read and, to my mind, unsurpassed commentary on Micah." -Julian Kennedy
