This interpretation reflects the insight that the book of Amos received its structure and decisive orientation during the Exile. It follows the development of reinterpretations of the original prophetic words to this final stage and emphasizes the topical relevance of this message for later generations.

This is a basically new exegesis of 4 late prophetic books of the Old Testament, partially grown through centuries ("Micah") or decades ("Joel"), partially a genuine entity ("Obadiah", "Jonah").
