Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book combines the writings of three prophets from the eighth century BC: Hosea, Joel, and Amos. All three were writing in a time of dramatic change as the nation of Israel struggled under the twin threats of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, and the moral collapse of their own society. Each prophet brought his unique perspective to bear: Hosea, rejected by the woman he loved, saw unfaithfulness and idolatry as the great sins of Israel; Joel, in a time of locust plagues, saw visions of cosmic upheaval as a metaphor for the coming day of judgment; while Amos, a shepherd called to prophesy, denounced the oppression and luxury of the ruling classes, and saw the coming judgment as a just retribution. By examining the writings of these prophets side by side, this book reveals the ways in which their messages interacted and developed, providing a comprehensive view of this pivotal period of Israelite history, and a unique insight into the nature of God's covenant with his people.
