Definition
Micah, Old Testament prophet; Old Testament book of the Bible - Micah
A 'testament' is a covenant or binding agreement and is a term used in the Bible of God's relationship with his people). The sacred writings of Judaism (the Hebrew Bible). These also form the first part of the Christian Bible.
The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament scriptures inherited from Judaism, together with the New Testament, drawn from writings produced from c.40-125CE, which describe the life of Jesus and the establishment of the Christian church.
Contemporary of Hosea, Micah addresses Samaria and Jerusalem and denounces rulers, priests, prophets, the exploitation of the helpless, dishonesty in business and sham religion; later sees a glorious future for Jerusalem and that Bethlehem will give birth to a greater David (understood by Christians as Jesus).
