	Greetings Rozaren! As Hank mentioned, I'm not sure that we can help much since we believe that God spoke through the prophets. Thus, Amos wrote what God spoke through him to Israel. If the purpose of the question is to imply that Amos wrote what he wrote because of the cultural situation of his day, than we are crossing over from Bible study to pure speculation. If the question is asking what cultural situation God was addressing through Amos, than your best bet is to simply read Amos and find out what God says there. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran

	Hi, Rozaren... Perhaps these will be useful: John Calvin: http://www.ccel.org/c/calvin/comment2/amos.htm John Gill: http://www.studylight.org/com/geb/ Matthew Henry (he'll have a more devotional approach): http://www.ccel.org/h/henry/mhc2/MHC30000.HTM Jamieson, Fausset and Brown: http://www.ccel.org/j/jfb/jfb/JFB30.htm And some sermons by Charles H. Spurgeon: http://www.spurgeon.org/index/r_am.htm However, you'll find that these scholars will not approach the question in the way in which you have worded it. They all had the sola scriptura presupposition. In Him, Doc PS I wouldn't use them in your bibliography, either. It might adversly effect your grade at a Roman Catholic institution.
