| Summary: | After a critical examination of scholarly approaches towards poetry, the study explores the connecting lines between poetry and prophecy. Among recent scholarly approaches, careful distinctions made by Robert Alter, Moshe Greenberg, and Alexa Wilke, are helpful to determine approach and method. Furthermore, the investigation focuses on the three hymns in the book of Amos: 4:13; 5:8-9; 9:5-6, questioning their functions in a prophetic context. Following a detailed investigation of philological and literary-critical problems in all three hymns, the study points to three different strategies of transformation, which help to explain the function of the hymns in their prophetic environment. |
