A Prophet in Debate: the Rhetoric of Persuasion in the Book of Amos (Library Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Studies) 1st edition
Karl Möller
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.
