The shape and message of the Psalter has been of central interest for many Old Testament scholars during the last thirty years. At the core of shape scholarship stands the issue of hope.

Dissertations
The presence and use of the OT covenant(s) in the book of Amos has been a highly debated issue for the last century among OT scholars.

This pericope of Amos was chosen because it has played a central role in the argumentation that denies the existence of any notion of covenant in the book.
