is there a book of the bible called amos
Book of Amos The Book of Amos is the third of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and the second in the Greek Septuagint tradition.[1] Amos, an older contemporary of Hosea and Isaiah,[2] was active c. 750 BCE during the reign of Jeroboam II[2] (788â€“747 BCE),[3] making the Book of Amos the first biblical prophetic book written. Amos lived in the kingdom of Judah but preached in the northern kingdom of Israel.[2] His major themes of social justice, God's omnipotence, and divine judgment became staples of prophecy.[2]
Ecclesiastes In traditional Jewish texts, King Solomon is named as the author, although modern scholars reject this. Textually, the book is the musings of a King of Jerusalem as he relates his experiences and draws lessons from them, often self-critical. The author, who is not named anywhere in the book, or in the whole of the Bible, introduces a "teacher" whom he identifies as the son of David (ch1, v1). The author does not use his own "voice" throughout the book again until the final verses (ch12, v9â€“14), where he gives his own thoughts and summarises what "the teacher" has spoken.
