Aspects of Amos (eBook, PDF)

Exegesis and Interpretation
Redaktion: Hagedorn, Anselm C.; Mein, Andrew

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The volume brings together eight new essays on Amos, which focus on a range of issues within the book. They represent a number of different approaches to the text from the text-critical to teh psychoanalytical, and from composition to reception. Arising out of a symposium to honour John Barton for his 60th birthday, the essays all respond, either directly or indirectly, to his Amos's Oracles Against the Nations, and to his lifelong concern with both ethics and method in biblical study.
