Duncan Sneddon's Scots translation of the Old Testament book of Amos can now be read online on the Church of Scotland's website. It was first published this spring in the "Theology in Scotland" journal. and now joins Psalms, sermons and prayers as part of the Scots Worship resources.

Former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland Prof. R.S. Barbour said of the translation that is 'both accurate and vigorous, and should give the reader an excellent idea of the force of the original.'

The Scots worship resources on the Kirk's website are intended both as a resource for use in public worship and private devotion.
