Author Description

In 1955 John D. W. Watts presented the Faculty Lectures at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Ruschlikon, Switzerland. As a result, Amos and prophetic studies have not been the same.Three years later, in 1958, Vision and Prophecy in Amos appeared as an instant must in studies on Amos and biblical prophecy. Watts's form-critical analysis of the visions of Amos became an immediate classic in its field. Long out of print, this book is now being made available again for all students and scholars of biblical prophecy. Watts has added new material on Amos which brings the earlier work to a new height. He explores Amos forty years later both in terms of its literary whole and in the context of the Book of Twelve.
