Excellent- More about Amos and the Cosmic Imagination
The book of Amos is reinterpreted in light of new historical approaches, reading it as a product of the Persian-era Judah community and exploring its representations of divine-human communication. Its poetry expresses mythical conceptions of divine manifestation and a process of destruction and recreation of the cosmos, revealing a heavenly, cosmic temple behind the natural world.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Amos, believed to contain the words of the earliest of the biblical prophets, dating back to the 8th century BCE, is reinterpreted by the author in light of new and sometimes controversial historical approaches to the Bible. The book is read as the literary product of the Persian-era community in Judah, and its representations of divine-human communication are investigated within the context of the ancient writers' own role as transmitters and shapers of religious traditions. Amos' extraordinary poetry manifests mythical conceptions of divine manifestation and a process of destruction and recreation of the cosmos, revealing that behind the appearances of the natural world lies a heavenly, cosmic temple.
