| Summary: | The Book of Amos was revised by circles within Judaism which embraced a specific concept of the pious poor. For this revision, a date in the 3rd century BC is suggested. The authors conceived of the 'end' that Amos had announced in the face of the Assyrian threat as the impending catastrophic end of the world in the sense of apocalyptical expectations. The passages of social criticism Am 2:6—8; 4:1—2*; 5:12b; 8:4—8* are also seen to have originated in this process of revision of the text. The social criticism in the Book of Amos cannot be traced back to a prophet who appeared in the Northern Kingdom in the 8th century BC, but instead must be understood against the background of the economic conditions and the religious history of the Persian and Hellenistic periods. |
