## Bio

Amos was active around 760–755 BC, during the reigns of Jeroboam II in Israel and Uzziah in Judah. Though he came from the southern Kingdom of Judah, he preached in the northern Kingdom of Israel, known as Samaria. His message centered on justice and divine judgment, particularly condemning the growing divide between wealthy and poor. He was an older contemporary of the prophets Hosea and Isaiah, and his words were preserved in the Book of Amos, one of the Twelve Minor Prophets. Modern scholars increasingly question whether the book's account of his life and origins reflects historical fact.
