In Amos, ESV Expository Commentary, Thomas R. Schreiner helps us preach Amos as the Lord’s searching word to complacent religion, calling the church to true worship and righteous living.
We are guided to keep the message sharp without becoming harsh, and to keep hope in view without softening the warnings.
