God's People in Crisis

Here in a straightforward and readable way S. Paul Re'emi takes us into the experience of exile and the anguish of Judah expressed in Lamentations, while Robert Martin-Archard takes us behind that moment into Amos' confrontations with Israel which had preceded her exile. The commentaries enable the reader to appreciate much of the prayer and the challenge that these two books expressed, and encourage us to see them as not merely ancient texts but theological resources for the modern world."
