Amos in Song and Book Culture

Joyce Rilett Wood has taught at various universities, most recently at the Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax, Nova Scotia and currently works in Toronto. Zusammenfassung This study argues that the gist and movement of the prophecy in the book of Amos can be attributed to Amos himself, who composed a coherent cycle of poetry. The text uses Amos to show that prophecy originated in the performing arts but was later transformed into history and biography.
