Two Years Before the Earthquake: From Amos the Prophet to Amos the Book
 
   

In 760 B.C., a herdsman from the town of Tekoa in the Kingdom of Judah appeared at a shrine in the Kingdom of Israel and began to prophesy against the inhabitants of that Kingdom, beginning the process which culminated centuries later in the Book of Amos as we now have it. We shall examine the prophetic words of Amos himself, explore how and why these words, spoken in a specific time and place, were preserved and applied by the compilers of the Book of Amos, and discuss what the book as we now have it has to say.

The instructor for this course is The Rev'd Dr. Richard Corney
