Amos

Cornelius à Lapide SJ · Biblical Commentary

À Lapide's Amos commentary treats the shepherd-prophet of Tekoa as the great herald of social justice and divine transcendence, expounding the oracles against the nations and the visions of the plumb-line and summer fruit as figures of the Last Judgment, while the promise of David's fallen tabernacle (Amos 9:11) is read as a Messianic prophecy of the Incarnation.
