<DIV><P>Allen R. Guenther brings an evangelical believers church perspective to the study of two eighth-century B.C. prophets. He explores theological and practical implications of their message, which he applies to the contemporary church.</P><P>This work compares Israel&rsquo;s distinctive religion, influenced by Baal-worshiping Phoenician neighbors, with faith in Judah. In his own marriage, Hosea dramatizes God&rsquo;s redeeming love. Amos&rsquo;s exposure of shallow piety and injustice brings him into confrontation with the official priest at Bethel. For both prophets, the Lord&rsquo;s judgment is to lead on to repentance and restoration.</P></DIV>
