A Prophet in Debate: The Rhetoric of Persuasion in the Book of Amos

By (author) Karl Möller

| on special |

normal price: R 2 091.95

Price: R 1 986.95


| book description |

An investigation of the literary structure and rhetorical challenge that prompted the book's production. Moller argues that the book of Amos captures and presents the debate between Amos and his eighth-century audience. When read in the light of Israel's fall, the presentation of Amos struggling (and failing) to convince his contemporaries of the imminent divine punishment functions as a powerful warning to subsequent Judaean readers.
