{"product_id":"amos-in-song-and-book-joyce-rilett-wood-9781841272443","title":"Amos in Song and Book Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis study argues that the gist and movement of the prophecy in the book of Amos can be attributed to Amos himself, who composed a coherent cycle of poetry. His dire predictions came after the Fall of Samaria but before the Fall of Jerusalem. Writing a century later, the author of the book preserved but updated Amos' text by fitting it into a developing literary, historical and prophetic tradition. Amos is used as a test case to show that prophecy originated in the performing arts but was later transformed into history and biography. The original prophecy is a song Amos recited at symposia or festivals. The book's interest focusses on the performer and his times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joyce Rilett Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841272442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841272443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheffield Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.46w x 0.77d","brand":"Joyce Rilett Wood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065843986687,"sku":"9781841272443","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2e54de7-e5b2-4718-a90e-4c8a861af89c.jpg?v=1768677615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amos-in-song-and-book-joyce-rilett-wood-9781841272443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
