Amos (Anchor Bible Series)
The life and mission of Amos the shepherd and  prophet have always fascinated students of the Old  Testament. This rancher-farmer from Tekoa, summoned  dramatically by Yahweh to prophesy to Israel under  the kingship of Jeroboam II (eighth century  B.C.E.) about the corruption, injustice, and religious  insincerity of his time, has intrigued scholars for  centuries. Was Amos' message one of judgment and  retribution only, or also of  redemption?
Noted scholars Francis I. Andersen and David  Noel Freedman, authors of the critically acclaimed  Hosea, team up to examine and  explain this critical segment of the Bible. Using new  insights and modern methods, the authors interpret  the text clearly, enthusiastically, and with  startling perception. Readers will gain a new  understanding of the historical, literary, and religious  dimensions of the book of Amos.
