Hosea, Joel, and Amos

by Bruce C. Birch

Overview

Often called "minor prophets," these first great classical prophets spoke to issues that dominated their times—love, redemption, fidelity, renewal, authority, justice, righteousness, and inclusivity—and that continue to have great relevance today.

Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice. Each volume explains the biblical book in its original historical context and explores its significance for faithful living today. These books are ideal for individual study and for Bible study classes and groups.
