Amos (Anchor Bible Series)

Amos (Anchor Bible Series)

The life and mission of Amos the shepherd andÂ Â prophet have always fascinated students of the OldÂ Â Testament. This rancher-farmer from Tekoa, summonedÂ Â dramatically by Yahweh to prophesy to Israel underÂ Â the kingship of Jeroboam II (eighth centuryÂ Â B.C.E.) about the corruption, injustice, and religiousÂ Â insincerity of his time, has intrigued scholars forÂ Â centuries. Was Amos' message one of judgment andÂ Â retribution only, or also ofÂ Â redemption?

Noted scholars Francis I. Andersen and DavidÂ Â Noel Freedman, authors of the critically acclaimedÂ Â Hosea, team up to examine andÂ Â explain this critical segment of the Bible. Using newÂ Â insights and modern methods, the authors interpretÂ Â the text clearly, enthusiastically, and withÂ Â startling perception. Readers will gain a newÂ Â understanding of the historical, literary, and religiousÂ Â dimensions of the book of Amos.
