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.

Eighth Century Prophets by D N Premnath Pdf

In this powerful sociological introduction, D. N. Premnath brings together the social reality of eighth century B.C.E. Israel and Judah and the prophetic oracles of Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah to explore the significance of their prophetic message and vision in today's context. He focuses on various dimensions of land accumulation by the upper class and its effect on the poor. Premnath uniquely uses a systemic sociological approach, incorporating both comparative and historical data to reconstruct the social reality of the period and to reveal aspects of the oracles not covered by previous exegesis. The sociohistorical section will be of keen interest to students as well as to scholars.

The Books of Amos, Hosea, Micah by Henry McKeating Pdf

The plan of this volume of commentary on the New English Bible text of three Old Testament books follows the pattern established by the New Testament series of Cambridge Bible Commentaries on the New English Bible. The main divisions of the text are those provided by the New English Bible itself. The text is further subdivided for the purposes of the commentary, which is printed in short sections following the relevant portion of text. In his introduction Dr McKeating discusses the chronology of the books in this volume, indicating briefly the historical events of the period. He examines the structure and content of these books and shows how these three men, alike in their intensity but utterly different in background and in temperament, reflect three different attitudes to a corrupt society.

Amos, Hosea, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk by Carol J. Dempsey Pdf

These six prophets proclaim powerful messages about judgment and the sovereignty of God. Amos challenges hypocrisy and injustice. Hosea's marriage symbolizes the covenant between God and Israel, moving from love to separation and then reunion. Micah, Nahum, and Zephaniah condemn corrupt leadership, injustice to the poor, and worship of false gods. Habakkuk reminds all to rely on God, who will punish the evil and defeat chaos. Flowing through all these calls to be a better people is the unfailing promise of a faithful and forgiving God.

Eminently qualified to write this groundbreaking book, Philip King is known as both an archaeological and biblical authority. Defining biblical archaeology as the "process of correlating archaeological evidence with the biblical record," he sees the function of this discipline as the illumination of the events recorded in the Bible in order to clarify the text. In Amos, Hosea, and Micah, King offers an enlightening and elegant commentary on the eight-century prophets from an archaeological perspective.

Prophecy: The Minor Prophets by Harold Lerch Pdf

This book is the last in a series of four books about prophecy. This volume is about the often-overlooked minor prophets. In reality, they include very interesting information about events that happened after their time and events still in our future. Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Nahum wrote in the Eighth and Seventh Centuries BC [Before Christ] about coming judgment. Joel, Jonah, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk wrote in the Ninth through Seventh Centuries BC about faith and repentance. Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi wrote in the Eighth and Seventh Centuries BC. Haggai’s ministry was to scold the returned exiles for their delay in rebuilding the Temple and to encourage them to set to work. Zechariah predicted the second coming of Christ, His reign, His priesthood, His kingship, and more. Malachi is the final prophet with the last message of the Old Testament. It includes the hope in the prophecy of John the Baptist's ministry. This series is contained in four books. The whole scope of prophecy must be considered in determining the meaning of any particular passage. Therefore, a reading of all four books will greatly improve understanding. This volume includes a bonus chapter— The Book of Revelation.
