The Challenge of Amos – John Valters Paintner

“The prophets understood where evil comes from and the suffering to which it leads. The challenge of Amos for us today is twofold: being honest in placing ourselves in the role of his audience in admitting our transgressions, and finding a more positive way to express our righteous anger when confronting evil in the world.”
