Publisher's Synopsis
For over one hundred years the International Critical Commentary has had a special place among works on the Bible. This new volume on Amos brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis -- linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological -- to enable the scholar to have a complete knowledge and understanding of this Old Testament book. Robert P. Gordon incorporates new evidence available in the field and applies up-to-date methods of study. No uniform theological or critical approach to the text is taken.
