The young student of classical Hebrew philology is richly rewarded by reading, studying and reflecting on this deligthful treatise by Dr. Duane A. Garrett. The great Eighth Century poetical prophet, Amos [760-750 B.C.E.], will find a new audience for his divine and prophetical oracles of Doom. Our Age would do well to heed the lucid message of Amos, epecially his social criticisms of the abusive behavior of the powerful and corrupt---be they royal officers of the court and palace, royal off-spring (princes and princesses), wealthy merchants or the priesthood itself.Dr. Garrett embellishes his text with the appropriate historical context and events that make Amos the prophet as pertinent to our vulgar, meretricious age [think Republicans in America, a silly kleptocracy] as the Judean 8th Century! Amos teaches how easy it is to steal the people's money by corruption in the churches and the courts---the twin sources of human mischief of deceit and violence in our social mileau.After so much grammatical detail, it is nonsensical not to include a glossary of all Hebrew vocabulary and appropriate verbal conjugations and nominal declensions in this text. The nouns should be given in their singular & plural forms, and their singular & plural construct forms. After all, its pretense is the furthering development of the young student in his more mature Hebrew scholarship! This would further strengthen the mind of our young in philological matters.After realing this treatise three times, I wish to add the following observations to my critique of this book. It must be re-issued after the following errors are corrected: p. 54 8th Oracle (Jerusalem/Israel), p. 88 al/all, p.90 is...is, p. 98 part/a part, p.104 At (go) to Gilgal/and (go) to Gilgal, p.
