The Book of Amos

This first session is an introduction to the Book of Amos. The author explains how understanding the historical context helps us understand what Amos is about.

In session 2, we discuss how the poetical nuances of Amos’ writing enhance the intensity of his message to the Israelite.

In Session 3, Amos discusses issues of justice and the importance of lamentation and repentance.

In session 4, Amos lays out details of two specific reasons for Israel to “woe”.

Amos obeyed God, but was rejected by Israel's leaders and told to leave. In this session, we will learn that people will not always accept our message of truth just because we are doing what is right in God's sight.

The final session talks about the four visions in the Book of Amos and the destruction and restoration of Israel.
