The Old Testament Book of Micah

The Old_Testament book of Micah, from the 8th century BCE, called for a popular revolt against the rich and powerful in Jerusalem and Samaria, who were abusing the poor. The original text, over a few hundred years, had various editors add comments, including the final 2 chapters. Christians took some of the concepts and used them as prophecies of Jesus. 2nd edition of this page: I've rewrote the introduction, expanded ch#1 to include paragraphs on historical authorship, and added two chapters: #2 on the call for violent revolution, and #3, about the leader from Bethlehem.
