Joel and Amos : An Introduction and Commentary

$7.22

Goodreads rating: 3.93

$7.22

Joel's arresting imagery--blasting trumpet, darkened sun and marching hosts--has shaped the church's eschatological vision of a day of wrath. Amos's ringing indictments--callous oppression, heartless worship and self-seeking gain--have periodically awakened the conscience of God's people. Twenty-five-hundred years after they were first born, those prophetic words never fail to awaken and arrest. Viewed against the background of their culture and society, artistry and context, these visions and oracles take on even more vibrant colors and cleaner lines. This commentary is a valuable guide to the fascinating world and challenging word of these two prophets. Ever mindful of the wider context and composition of these ancient but living texts, David Hubbard shows how Joel and Amos addressed Israel's mind and heart. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series

It takes charisma and inspiration to lead any group of people, be it a family, a community or a nation. It requires truly miraculous skills to go on leading people even after your death. Throughout history there have been only a handful of people capable of this form of leadership. They include Jesus Christ, Moses, Mohammed and Buddha, without whom the major religions of this world simply would not exist. LEADERS WHO CHANGED THE WORLD explores the lives and careers of such extraordinary individuals as Confucious, Mahatma Gandhi, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Nelson Mandela. Some have slogged and suffered in order to change the world for the better, others like Adolf Hitler or Osama Bin Laden have only succeeded in damaging humanity. What does it take to become a great leader?
