AMOS: Introducing The Prophet Amos: Part 5 of a Christian home group Bible Study series on the 12 Prophets

Introducing The Minor prophets – Bible Study Amos. The Prophet Amos is the fifth book in this Bible study series 'Spotlight On The Minor Prophets'. Why are these giants of the scriptures called ‘Minor’? Simply because their books are typically short, and nothing at all to do with the importance of their individual messages, or indeed the impact they had on the listeners. These are not intended to be in-depth bible studies as such; but instead an introduction or summary of the Prophets, their times and influences both then and today. These short bible studies of the Old Testament Prophets are intended for individual or group use, and I have found them useful for encouraging debate and conversation, on all the topics that affected the peoples at that time; and now affect ourselves in today’s world. Job states that “As sure as sparks fly upwards, Man is born to trouble”. The social and economic troubles that the ancients faced are the same ones as we face now. It has been said that “if we do not learn from our mistakes, then we are doomed to repeat them”. Perhaps it’s time to listen to their problems and see what The Lord had to say through his spokesmen – whom we know as the ‘Minor Prophets’.
