Comentario sobre Amós
Digital Logos Edition
Reseña
Amós es el profeta de la simpleza, llamado a enfrentarse a la sofisticación de un reino que había obtenido su independencia separando lo que Dios había unido. Israel era una nación próspera cuando este profeta denunció su infidelidad al pacto. El rey había organizado una religión falsa llena de ostentaciones externas que gozaba del desprecio de Dios y del profeta. Amós es el profeta de la plomada de Dios y todo edificio o reino que se haya levantado sin sus directrices será derribado. Es un profeta fuerte, curtido, vigoroso, directo, hábil con las comparaciones. Quiera el Señor usar este comentario para avivar nuestro entendimiento de lo que significa “labor profética” en nuestro tiempo.

John Calvin (1509–1564), one of the most important thinkers in church history, was a prominent French theologian during the Protestant Reformation and the father of Calvinism. His theological works, biblical commentaries, tracts, treatises, sermons, and letters helped establish the Reformation throughout Europe.
Calvinism has spawned movements and sparked controversy throughout the centuries. Calvin began his work in the church at the age of 12, intending to train for the priesthood. Calvin attended the Collège de la Marche in Paris at 14, before studying law at the University of Orléans and continuing his studies at the University of Bourges.
In 1532, Calvin’s first published work appeared: a commentary on Seneca’s De Clementia. The controversy of calling for reform in the Catholic Church disciplined Calvin in his writing project, and he began working on the first edition of The Institutes of the Christian Religion, which appeared in 1536. Calvin’s Commentaries and The Letters of John Calvin are also influential; both appear in the Calvin 500 Collection.
