BAS's Acclaimed Video Lectures: Series One: The Essence of Amos Tikva Frymer-Kensky
Frymer-Kensky examines the Book of Amos from both a structural and a philosophical standpoint. She demonstrates that the Book of Amos does not follow a typical linear, chronological structure, but instead has a ring structure of verses interspersed with refrains. Understanding the book's structure in this way allows Amos's central message of economic equality and charity to emerge clearly. Tikva Frymer-Kensky is professor of Hebrew Bible at University of Chicago Divinity School. Her publications include The Judicial Ordeal in the Ancient Near East (Styx, 1995) In the Wake of the Goddesses: Women, Culture, and the Biblical Transformation of Pagan Myth (Free Press, 1992) and Motherprayer (Putnam, 1995), a collection of poems, prayers and reituals celebrating motherhood, drawn from the traditions of Judaism, Christianity and the ancient Near East. Her article "Forgotten heroines of the Exodus" appeared in the December 1997 issue of Bible Review.
