God's People in CrisisWm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1984 - 134 من الصفحات "Here in a straightforward and readable way S. Paul Re'emi takes us into the experience of exile in Lamentations, while Robert Martin-Achard takes us behind that moment into Amos's confrontations with Israel which preceded her exile.
