Read of Gods calling to Amos
T. J. Betts serves as an Associate Professor of Old Testament Interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky.
"Books on the Old Testament tend to be either technical and tedious
or superficial and moralistic. Once in a while we discover one that
breaks the mould. T. J. Betts has done it! He tells us not only
what Amos means but also why it matters. He proves again that the
expositor's task is not to make the Bible relevant, but to simply
show how relevant it is!"
*Alistair Begg (Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Chagrin Falls,
Ohio)*
"T. J. Betts comes to the text of Amos with a scholarly mind and a
pastoral heart. His judgments about the text are carefully
considered and sound, and his prose is warm and direct. Pastors who
have found the task of preaching from the prophets daunting will
discover in this volume helpful material for historical background,
theological interpretation, and homiletical application."
*Duane A. Garrett*
"What a wonderful gift to the pastor who wants to allow the text of
Scripture to drive his sermon. T.J. Betts' commentary will be ready
at hand when I prepare to teach from the prophet Amos. It is a
treasure trove for the serious expositor."
*Daniel L. Akin*
"I have known T. J. Betts for a number of years. He was raised in a
pastor's home, and he is a pastor/scholar who writes for the local
church. Using personal illustrations and practical applications in
this commentary, he shows how the writings of an eighth-century
B.C. prophet still speak to the 21st century church."
