The Best Commentaries on Amos
Puritans
Benefield, Sebastian, on chs. 1-3
Hall, Thomas – An Exposition by Way of Supplement, on Amos chs. 4-9 EEBO 1661
** – “Hall took up Amos where Benefield left off. He says he studied brevity, and perhaps he succeeded, for he does not quite fill 600 pages with six chapters. The two quartos make up a complete work, of an antique type, not suitable to modern tastes, nor up to the mark of present criticism, but still instructive. What Puritan is not?” – Spurgeon
