  Abstract:  This essay will briefly examine two literary forms in the Book of Amos: the prophetic visions (Am 7,1-3.4-6.7-9; 8,1-3; 9,1-4) and the doxologies or hymns (Am 4,13; 5,8-9; 9,5-6). However, the purpose of the present research is not to engage in a historical-critical exegesis but to provide an interpretative framework highlighting the function of these passages within the Book of Amos. First, the five prophetical visions in Am 7-9 will be addressed, examining their particular aspects, such as their structure, classification, and impact. Second, the content, the literary context, and the literary purpose of the three doxologies will be studied, assessing the results of previous research.
