Joel's arresting imagery--blasting trumpet, darkened sun and marching hosts--has shaped the church's eschatological vision of a day of wrath. Amos's ringing indictments--callous oppression, heartless worship and self-seeking gain--have periodically awakened the conscience of God's people. Twenty-five hundred years later, those prophetic words still speak powerfully. David Hubbard's commentary is a valuable guide to fascinating world and challenging word of these two prophets, and shows how Joel and Amos addressed Israel's mind and heart.
