Download or read book Amos Among the Prophets written by Robert B. Coote and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-01-26 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Coote describes the stages of growth of the book of Amos, discussing the process of the book's gradual formation. Chapter One introduces Coote's approach, rationale, and method for his analysis. Chapter Two deals with the oracles of doom, basically the oral legacy of the prophet himself. Chapter Three shows how the words of Amos were reactualized and composed in their seventh century setting.

This book also serves as a useful resource for understanding pre-exilic prophecy because of the many similarities between Amos's message and other prophetic traditions which Coote highlights.

Book Synopsis The Composition and Redaction of the Book of Amos by : Tchavdar S. Hadjiev
Download or read book The Composition and Redaction of the Book of Amos written by Tchavdar S. Hadjiev and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Oxford dissertation offers a fresh redactional analysis of the Book of Amos. It starts with a critical survey of existing approaches and an examination of the methodological issues involved and proceeds with a detailed exegetical analysis of the prophetic text which forms the basis for the redactional conclusions. It steers a middle course between extreme conservative treatments which trace all the material back to the prophet Amos and more radical sceptical approaches which attribute most of the prophetic oracles to the work of later redactors. The composition of the book began with two collections: the Polemical scroll written not long after the end of Amos’ ministry and the Repentance scroll composed shortly before 722 BC. The Repentance scroll was reworked in Judah towards the end of the 8th century BC and the two scrolls were combined to form a single work sometime during the 7th century BC. The Book underwent only one redaction during the exilic period which sought to actualise its message in a new historical context. The study pays special attention to the literary structure, aim and probable historical circumstances of the various collections which gradually evolved into the present Book of Amos and seeks to show how the prophetic message lived on and spoke to the various communities which preserved and transmitted it.
Book Synopsis The Theology of the Book of Amos by : John Barton
Download or read book The Theology of the Book of Amos written by John Barton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern times Amos has come to be considered one of the most important prophets, mainly for his uncompromising message about social justice. This book provides a detailed exploration of this theme and other important elements of the theology underlying the book of Amos. It also includes chapters on the text itself, providing a critical assessment of how the book came to be, the original message of Amos and his circle, which parts of the book may have been added by later scribes, and the finished form of the book. The author also considers the book's reception in ancient and modern times by interpreters as varied as rabbis, the Church Fathers, the Reformers and liberation theologians. Throughout, the focus is on how to read the book of Amos holistically to understand the organic development of the prophet's message through the many stages of the book's development and interpretation.

Book excerpt: An investigation of the literary structure and rhetorical challenge that prompted the book's production. Moller argues that the book of Amos captures and presents the debate between Amos and his eighth-century audience.

Book Synopsis Social Identity and the Book of Amos by : Andrew M. King
Download or read book Social Identity and the Book of Amos written by Andrew M. King and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What, according to the Book of Amos, does it mean to be the people of God? In this book, Andrew M. King employs a Social Identity Approach (SIA), comprised of Social Identity Theory and Self-Categorization Theory, to explore the relationship between identity formation and the biblical text. Specifically, he examines the identity-forming strategies embedded in the Book of Amos. King begins by outlining the Social Identity Approach, especially its use in Hebrew Bible scholarship. Turning to the Book of Amos, he analyzes group dynamics and intergroup conflicts (national and interpersonal), as well as Amos's presentation of Israel's history and Israel's future. King provides extensive insight into the rhetorical strategies in Amos that shape the trans-temporal audience's sense of self. To live as the people of God, according to Amos, readers and hearers must adopt norms defined by a proper relationship to God that results in the proper treatment of others.

Book Synopsis Amos & Isaiah by : James Merrill Ward
Download or read book Amos & Isaiah written by James Merrill Ward and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present book is to expound the theological and ethical affirmations of these co-pioneers. It has been written in the conviction that the Old Testament prophets' understanding of man's existence in community under God is as lively a possibility for us today as it was for Israel in the eighth century B.C. Many of the forms of our institutional and material environment have changed, but the basic alternatives open to us for understanding and accepting our place in the universe have not. To this extent Amos and Isaiah are our contemporaries. - Preface.
