This study argues that the gist and movement of the prophecy in the
book of Amos can be attributed to Amos himself, who composed a
coherent cycle of poetry. His dire predictions came after the Fall
of Samaria but before the Fall of Jerusalem. Writing a century
later, the author of the book preserved but updated Amos' text by
fitting it into a developing literary, historical and prophetic
tradition. Amos is used as a test case to show that prophecy
originated in the performing arts but was later transformed into
history and biography. The original prophecy is a song Amos recited
at symposia or festivals. The book's interest focusses on the
performer and his times.
