Overview

In Amos, W. Edward Glenny provides a foundational analysis of the Greek text of the Septuagint version of Amos. The analysis is distinguished by the detailed yet comprehensive attention paid to the text. Glenny's analysis is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Greek text that are frequently overlooked by standard commentaries. Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key,  Amos also reflects recent advances in scholarship on Greek grammar and linguistics and is informed by current discussions within Septuagint studies. These handbooks prove themselves indispensable tools for anyone committed to a deep reading of the Greek text of the Septuagint.

Reviews

...Glenny's work would make an excellent text in an advanced Greek grammar or exegesis course. It will also provide an excellent point of reference for future scholarship on the book of Amos, whether in its Hebrew form, the Greek version, or other subversions such as the Vulgate or Peshitta. --William A. Ross Review of Biblical Literature
