Amos

To demolish the comfortable assumption that ritual worship can substitute for social justice - and to announce God's judgment on Israel's treatment of the poor and vulnerable.

A shepherd from Tekoa delivers God's word against social injustice, hollow worship, and religious complacency, while holding out the promise of a restored Davidic kingdom.

Amos is the preeminent prophet of social justice in the Old Testament — establishing that covenant faithfulness requires not only worship but the consistent protection of the vulnerable.
