About the book: 2017 / This book, the first in the series “Studies of the Old Testament,” is a thorough and detailed analysis of one of the prophetic books of the Old Testament - the Book of the Prophet Amos. His prophetic ministry occurred during the times of earthly greatness and prosperity of Ancient Israel. But having all the blessings of this world, the leaders of God’s people became hardened, arrogant, greedy and self-confident. Therefore, Amos' prophecies are dedicated to the approaching judgment of God over his people. These ancient texts, relevant at all times, are analyzed by the author of the book - Abbot Arseny (Sokolov), Doctor of Theology, Professor of the All-Church Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies named after. Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius, representative of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' under the Patriarch of Great Antioch and All the East, member of the Synodal Biblical-Theological Commission.
