This book examines the coherence of the book of Micah by means of
analysis of the text's literary structure and conceptuality. A
two-part structure is proposed, divided between chs. 1-5 and 6-7,
each part characterized by a dispute over the fate of Israel. The
interrelationship of the parts, including prophecies of judgment
and announcements of promise suggests that the basis of the
book's coherence is that Yahweh's justice in judgment and mercy,
preserving and forgiving the remnant, are the significant factors
in determining Israel's fate.
