- Concepts of election and covenant interlinked
- Requirements of the Decalogue and the Book of the covenant reflected in Amos' teaching on Israel's social and religious responsibilities as God's chosen people.
- Warnings given by God shows God's desire to maintain covenant relationship
- Covenant relationship implied throughout
- Restoration of covenant in Amos 9.
- Did not underpin.
- Term not used- scholarly view that the covenant concept not developed before the time of Assyrian domination
- Amos was more concerned with punishment than covenant relationship
- Exodus from Egypt of no special significance
- Israel not in a special relationship
- Amos 9:11-15, a much later addition-not from the 8th century prophet.
- Underpinned teaching.
