Social Criticism in the Book of Micah
FIBICHOVÁ, Johana
The bachelor thesis deals with a comprehensive description of the social criticism in the book of Micah in its historical, social and contemporary context. The introductory chapter provides background information on the book of Micah.

The next chapter contains an interpretation of passages in which social criticism occurs.
