Amos (Anchor Bible Series)

Rating:
Summary: An Oustanding Contribution. . .
Review: . . .to the Anchor Bible series and to serious study of Amos. I have been more than impressed with the Anchor Bible commentaries on the Minor Prophets and have included several, including this one, in a current class I'm teaching in the Minor Prophets. Of all these texts, Amos stands out as a masterpiece of modern, sensible Biblical scholarship.

Nowhere else have I seen such attention to detail. Nowhere else have I seen such in-depth Hebrew word studies (frankly, far beyond my own comprehension!) Never before have I gained such insights into a book I've read many times.

I highly recommend this volume for all serious students of the Minor Prophets -- whether one can read Hebrew or not.

The section of photographs is also a nice added touch.
