Overview

This text deals with the history of interpretation of Amos 9:11, a passage which is regarded in both Jewish and Christian tradition as a messianic prediction. It examines its interpretation and impact in Qumran and Rabbinic Judaism, as well as in the New Testament, the Church Fathers, the Middle Ages, the Reformation and in the scientific discussion up to the present. Special emphasis is laid on its usage at the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15) and its influence on the formation of the Christian Church, and hitherto overlooked explicit and important interpretations of scholars such as Nicholas de Lyre, Luther, Mercenus, Miegus and Harenberg who have already made use of the Rabbinic messianic interpretation of this passage. An interpretation of Amos, 9:11-15, in its historical Old Testament context, is also included.
