Bible book bishop removed from pulpits (4)
I believe the answer is:
amos
'bible book' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'bishop removed from pulpits' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'removed from' is a deletion indicator.
'pulpits' becomes 'ambos' ('ambo' can be a synonym of 'pulpit').
'ambos' with 'b' taken out is 'AMOS'.
(Other definitions for amos that I've seen before include "American wild dog" , "Part of bible" , "Old Testament prophet" , "Prophet in the Bible" , "man" .)
