Amos & Isaiah by James Merrill Ward Pdf

The purpose of the present book is to expound the theological and ethical affirmations of these co-pioneers. It has been written in the conviction that the Old Testament prophets' understanding of man's existence in community under God is as lively a possibility for us today as it was for Israel in the eighth century B.C. Many of the forms of our institutional and material environment have changed, but the basic alternatives open to us for understanding and accepting our place in the universe have not. To this extent Amos and Isaiah are our contemporaries. - Preface.

The Eighth Century Prophets: Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Micah by Bernhard W. Anderson Pdf

Bernhard Anderson has written a commentary that gives new perspective and clarity to the prophetic tradition and demonstrates the timely nature of the prophets' messages for today. 'The Eighth Century Prophets' treats the four Old Testament figures as a 'prophetic quartet' that produced a powerful and startling consensus about Israel's relationship to God and the world. The core of the prophetic message is shown to be both religious and political as Anderson describes and explains the great themes of Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah: divine judgment, the present and the future, justice and mercy, the covenant, walking humbly with God, and waiting for God. Included is a bibliography and time chart of Eighth Century Israel.

The Prophetic Critique of the Priority of the Cult by Theresa V. Lafferty Pdf

When Jesus overturned the carts of the merchants in the temple, he was just the latest in a long line of people who decried the activities that took place there. To understand his actions better, one must go back in history to the eighth century BCE, to the first two prophets to criticize the temple cult: Amos and Isaiah. Their criticism of all worship activities came as a result of the people setting wrong priorities in their lives. What happens in the temple should extend into regular everyday activities in the home, in the market, in business dealings, at work, and at the city gate. Amos and Isaiah present similar oracles that address the prioritization of worship over real life. This book looks closely at their oracles, comparing and contrasting them, and analyzes what they were trying to teach the people.

Behold! the Kingdom by Crosbie Barnes Pdf

A study that attempts to remove the fog surrounding our perception of God's Kingdom. It may be a source of new ideas and revelation challenging those commonly held about the Kingdom and attempting to set the foundation for how we should view it. We look at how the coming of the King impacts the world and its people in every generation, revealing an invitation to take our rightful place in His Kingdom. We examine the mechanics and the dynamics of our inclusion into the Kingdom, and how it is expressed within His creation, examining its nature as it emerges in the lives of individuals who embrace the King. And, finally, we look at the structure, role and intrinsic values of the Church in the context of God's Kingdom.

The Message of Amos by J. Alec Motyer Pdf

They neglected the needy, gained material riches through exploitation, and indulged in inauthentic religious practices. And rather than following God in the pursuit of justice, they drew on the divine name to justify their pretense. This is the social landscape in which the prophet Amos delivers a message from God. With searing clarity and daring hope, Amos calls God's people to repent, turn back toward the ways of God, and take up his will through clear acts of obedience. In this volume Alec Motyer exposes and explains Amos's prophetic call for Israel's repentance, showing the message's astonishing relevance for today. Part of the beloved Bible Speaks Today series, The Message of Amos offers an insightful, readable exposition of the biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to contemporary life. Used by students and teachers around the world, the Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for those studying or preaching the Bible and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the text. This revised edition of a classic volume features lightly updated language, current Scripture quotations, and a new interior design.
