Project Gutenberg 2005-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 110 Landman, Isaac 1880 1946 Stories of the Prophets (Before the Exile) Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Tiffany Vergon, Robert Shimmin, David King, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Stories of the Prophets (Before the Exile)" by Isaac Landman is a collection of narratives focusing on the prophetic figures of ancient Israel, written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the lives, challenges, and messages of these prophets, particularly emphasizing their social and moral responsibilities during a time of significant upheaval and moral decay in Israel. The opening portion of the book introduces the character of Amos, a shepherd from Tekoah, who becomes acutely aware of the widespread injustice and corruption in Israel under King Jeroboam II. The narrative vividly depicts the joyful celebration following the fall of Damascus, which symbolizes the end of conflict for Israel. However, it contrasts this joy with the reality of social inequities and the suffering of the poor. As the story unfolds, Amos emerges as a passionate advocate for justice, boldly prophesying against the wealthy elite who oppress the common people, challenging the status quo, and delivering God's messages that underscore moral accountability. His journey sets the stage for significant reflections on faith, justice, and the repercussions of societal complacency. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
