dc.description.abstract	REFACE In the ever-evolving landscape of theological discourse, the intersection of ancient texts and contemporary issues remains a perennial focal point. It is within this dynamic space that A Study of Amos and Hosea: Implications for African Public Theology finds its resonance and purpose. Amidst the complexities of modern African society, the prophetic messages of Amos and Hosea reverberate with a timeless urgency. Rooted in the socio-political contexts of their time, these prophets courageously spoke truth to power, denouncing injustice, oppression, and moral decay. Their impassioned pleas for social justice and ethical renewal resonate with striking parallels to the contemporary African experience. The book is organized in eight chapters. The first chapter focuses on how prophecy emerged and developed in ancient Israel. The next three chapters deal with the background and theology of Amos which centers around the Yahweh’s justice and righteousness. Chapters Five to Seven bring out the message of Hosea within his religious, economic, cultural and political contexts. Finally, the study draws out lessons for African public theology in areas such as politics, economics, and environmental care. The book is written in simple English to facilitate comprehension. It is my hope that this book will serve as a catalyst for dialogue, introspection, and social engagement. May the THIS COPY IS NOT FOR SALE ix prophetic voices of Amos and Hosea continue to challenge and inspire us as we strive towards the realization of a more just, compassionate, and equitable society	en_US
