| Summary: | This paper investigates the connection between the prophet Amos and the place Tekoa in Judea and the mutual influence that they might have had on each other. The significance of Tekoa's location, its agriculture, and horticulture are discussed in connection with the socio-political traditions surrounding it. It seems Tekoa had been a refuge for the oppressed and a hideaway for insurgents. The conclusion is reached that Tekoa has played an important role throughout history as a place of non-confonnation to what was pen;eived as injustice and untruth. |
