Description
Summary:It is appropriate that a collection of studies celebrating John Barton should focus on Amos and at the same time exhibit a wide range of fresh interests and skills. Eight of his former students had celebrated his sixtieth birthday at a symposium in Oxford in 2008. Katharine Dell (‘Amos and the Earthquake: Judgment as Natural Disaster’) recalls the pervasiveness of earthquake images throughout the book. Daniel Smith-Christopher (‘Engendered Warfare and the Ammonites in Amos 1.13’) views deliberate violence to women in warfare in both ancient and modern perspective.
