In the field of Biblical scholarship, especially in its relation to archaeology, few men can speak with greater authority than Professor Albright. In this brief but masterly survey, he deals first with the effect of archaeological discoveries on our understanding of the Old Testament, from Abraham to the Judges, and then with linguistic arguments which have been advanced about the nature of Hebrew thought and its contrast with Greek - with some wise words on demythologization. Finally he surveys the effect on New Testament scholarship and early Christian history of the availability of comparative material from the Dead Sea Scrolls and from Gnostic papyri, showing that it is conservative, rather than radical, views which are supported by the new evidence.

The life and mission of Amos the shepherd and prophet have always fascinated students of the Old Testament. This rancher-farmer from Tekoa, summoned dramatically by Yahweh to prophesy to Israel under the kingship of Jeroboam II (eighth century B.C.E.) about the corruption, injustice, and religious insincerity of his time, has intrigued scholars for centuries. Was Amos' message one of judgment and retribution only, or also of redemption? Noted scholars Francis I. Andersen and David Noel Freedman, authors of the critically acclaimed Hosea, team up to examine and explain this critical segment of the Bible. Using new insights and modern methods, the authors interpret the text clearly, enthusiastically, and with startling perception. Readers will gain a new understanding of the historical, literary, and religious dimensions of the book of Amos.
