Socio-Critical Saying of Amos
₹350.00
Amos is the first of the so-called “Writing Prophets” in the Bible and his words have a strong accent on social justice. Even when the authorities objected to his teaching, it had an impact on the system, as is reflected in the spirit of Israel’s social legislation down through the centuries. If human rights have become one of the fundamental concerns of the Church’s social teaching today, it definitely owes this to the social critique of the prophets. This book attempts to reinvent the spirit of prophetic social critique through a critical reading of the socio-critical sayings of Amos, an analysis of their socio-historical context, a systematic reflection on the concept of justice underlying his pronouncements and drawing out their socio-ethical implications for the life of a tribal community in the Chotanagpur region in the central and eastern parts of India.
