Authority and the rule of law were despised, and national leadership, while revelling in the publicity and dignity of position ... seemed to be contributing to the complete breakdown of law and order. Thus Alec Motyer exposes and explains the astonishingly relevant - but never popular - message of the prophet Amos. Michael Green observes, Alec Motyer has clearly got the spirit of Amos in his blood. He loves the prophet from Tekoa, and takes endless pains to give full weight to every syllable of the prophecy. He is, of course, a distinguished scholar, and we are given full value on that front; but you will find here none of the dreary academic deadness which all too often comes through in commentary work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e208 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inter-Varsity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":10489103941675,"sku":"9780851107318","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9780851107318-motyer-message-amos-bst.jpg?v=1600063114"},{"product_id":"9780851107400-bst-message-of-ruth-atkinson-david","title":"BST Message of Ruth","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew edition forthcoming, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reformers.com.au\/products\/9781789743388-bst-message-of-ruth-david-atkinson?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=acc2a4e94\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePre-order here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book of Ruth is a tale of charm and delight.

Living far from their own homes and land, in a culture that was dominated by a faith situation completely antagonistic to their own, Daniel and his companions remained conscious of their continuing commitment to the God of Israel. The prophecies revealed to Daniel assured them and Christians today, that, though human kingdoms will continue to rise and fall, Gods kingdom will ultimately prevail. For readers today, as for Gods people of old, the book of Daniel calls us to dedicated commitment to God and his kingdom. In everything, Christ must have the supremacy and we eagerly wait for the final revelation of his glory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evangelical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":10489261326379,"sku":"9780852346495","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9780852346495-harman-daniel.jpg?v=1600066188"}],"url":"https:\/\/reformers.com.au\/collections\/old-testament-commentaries\/series_seeing-the-big-picture.oembed","provider":"Reformers Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
