Overview

A new translation and commentary on the book of Amos, forgoing speculation about his life to provide an innovative analysis of the book itself.

As part of the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Amos has been studied for more than two thousand years. This much-needed new edition includes an updated English translation of the Hebrew text and an insightful commentary. While previous scholarship speculated on reconstructions of the life of Amos, Eidevall analyzes this prophetic book as a literary composition, rejecting the conventional view of the book of Amos’s origin and providing a new rationalization for the form and meaning of the text.

  • Features up-to-date scholarship in a renowned commentary series
  • Provides critical historical information for exegetical analysis
  • Explores the theological and idealogical aspects of the Book of Amos

Top Highlights

“a strategy that has been described as a ‘rhetoric of entrapment.” (Page 99)

“these and other tensions are best explained as the result of diachronic developments spanning several centuries” (Page 16)

“Hence, the focus of scholarly attention should be the contents of the book of Amos, not Amos the prophet.” (Page 7)

“His hometown seems to have been Tekoa. That is all we know about the person Amos” (Page 3)

“Rejection of YHWH’s prophet, and of YHWH’s word, makes forgiveness unthinkable” (Page 203)

The commentary features the elements readers have come to expect and appreciate from this series: careful and rigorously detailed exegesis and commentary... a welcome entry in the series.

    It should be noted the information about the page quantity in the Page Details is incorrect. This is a 1,024 page commentary...on a 10 page book of the Bible. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter that the page says it's 312, but I thought it was an important detail, if for nothing else to show the magnitude of this work. My source was Amazon (hardback) and the bestcommentaries site.
