Amos in Song and Book Culture (review)

Shofar ♦ An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies thor includes in a small book not only a lot of information, but very thoughtful discussion about it. There are a few places where the editors didn’t proofread carefully, and it is odd that she should not mention some contemporary scholars. Clearly the author’s interest was in the warp and woof of the discussion through the ages rather than trying to be encyclopedic in mentioning every contemporary scholar. But her attention to details of the discussion that few of us know about offers a significant contribution to the intriguing questions hovering around Josephus’ testimonium to Jesus Christ.
