About This Item
This copy is one of the finest quality books online--AS NEW!
This is a beautiful 168-page hardbound 1ST Edition of this scarce and important Old Testament Bible commentary giving verse-by-verse exposition. Dr. Mays is both scholarly and generally considered conservative. This book is part of the critically acclaimed, The Old Testament Library series, by the Westminster Press. A general introduction is provided along with a bibliography, followed by verse-by-verse commentary. The Book of Amos was likely written between 760 and 753 B.C. Amos is a shepherd and a fruit picker from the Judean village of Tekoa when God calls him, even though he lacks an education or a priestly background. Amos' mission is directed to his neighbor to the north, Israel. His messages of impending doom and captivity for the nation because of her sins are largely unpopular and unheeded, however, because not since the days of Solomon have times been so good in Israel. Amos' ministry takes place while Jeroboam II reigns over Israel, and Uzziah reigns over Judah. James L. Mays was Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and Old Testament Interpretation at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia.
