Amos among the ‘Dead Prophets Society’: Re-Reading the Lion's Roar

Amos 3.3–8 is usually interpreted as the historical prophet's self-justification before a hostile crowd. I employ this passage in a similar manner, but restrict the confrontation to a literary world created by a post-monarchic body of scribes and interpreters. These I label the ‘Dead Prophets S...

520 |a Amos 3.3–8 is usually interpreted as the historical prophet's self-justification before a hostile crowd. I employ this passage in a similar manner, but restrict the confrontation to a literary world created by a post-monarchic body of scribes and interpreters. These I label the ‘Dead Prophets Society’ (with apologies to the makers of the film Dead Poets Society).

This situation forms the basis of a ‘trap’ which forces the guild to confront their own limitations vis-à-vis the ancient prophets, and still identify with Amos and experience the imperative nature of prophecy that the passage depicts.
