The Presence Of The Covenant Motif In Amos 1:2-2:16, Reinaldo W. Siqueira
The Presence Of The Covenant Motif In Amos 1:2-2:16, Reinaldo W. Siqueira
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. The dissertation attempts to address this issue through an exegetical study of the "Oracles Against the Nations" of Amos 1:2-2:16.
