| Abstract: | Cult in the book of Amos holds a prominent place; in it the prophet saw the source of all the trouble in the religious life of the people. It was the chief stumbling block to right living. The people believed firmly that by propitiating Yahwe by plenty of sacrifices and feasts they would receive thereby his good favour since His interests were closely bound up with theirs. Amos tried all means to eradicate this Idea from their minds and hence he launched a powerful attack against such practices as a frst step in the upward march to higher conceptions of God and to a right way of living. |
