The author also considers the book, W?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, W?s message through the many stages of the book, W?s development and interpretation"--Provided by publisher.
