A new translation and commentary on the book of Amos, forgoing speculation about his life to provide an innovative analysis of the book itself. As part of the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Amos has been studied for more than two thousand years. This much-needed new edition includes an updated English translation of the Hebrew text and an insightful commentary. While previous scholarship speculated on reconstructions of the life of Amos, Eidevall analyzes this prophetic book as a literary composition, rejecting the conventional view of the book of Amos's origin and providing a new rationalization for the form and meaning of the text.

Lire le livre d'Amos comme une œuvre cohérente est le défi majeur de l'exégèse contemporaine. Cette étude montre que les exégètes sont parvenus à la conviction que lire le livre d'Amos comme un tout est la voie la mieux indiquée pour entrer dans son processus d'interprétation. Le premier chapitre est consacré aux approches diachroniques qui tentent de reconstituer les ipsissima verba du prophète Amos. Ces travaux conduisent au morcellement du livre en de petits fragments et à la dévalorisation des passages perçus comme secondaires. Le second chapitre révèle que les études synchroniques ne s'accordent pas sur la structure du livre. Les trois derniers chapitres consacrés à l'analyse des textes souvent tenus pour secondaires cherchent à montrer que, loin d'être des éléments inopportuns, ces passages sont accordés à leurs contextes et que leur présence est essentielle à l'équilibre littéraire et théologique du livre. En révélant la place primordiale de ces neuf passages, cette monographie dévoile que le sacrifice d'un seul de ces éléments désarticulerait son unité littéraire et théologique. Cet ouvrage présente un état de recherche exhaustive sur le livre d'Amos et ouvre de nouvelles pistes de lecture de ce texte prophétique.

Said to contain the words of the earliest of the biblical prophets (8th century BCE), the book of Amos is reinterpreted by James Linville in light of new and sometimes controversial historical approaches to the Bible. Amos is read as the literary product of the Persian-era community in Judah. Its representations of divine-human communication are investigated in the context of the ancient writers' own role as transmitters and shapers of religious traditions. Amos's extraordinary poetry expresses mythical conceptions of divine manifestation and a process of destruction and recreation of the cosm
