Episode 1: Prophet motive
Even if you've never read the book of Micah, you may be familiar with some of the passages from it. When King Herod is visited by the magi, for example, the foreigners who come looking for the one born to be King of the Jews, Herod privately asks his advisors where this would happen. When they told him that the king would be born in Bethlehem, they were citing an ancient prophecy of Micah.
But who was Micah? What made him a prophet? This first episode introduces us to Micah and a bit of his background.
