About This Item
Check out this FIRST EDITION, 264-page hardback, verse-by-verse exposition of a fascinating Old Testament Minor Prophet.
This volume also contains an extensive index of biblical references and an index of subjects and authors. The Old Testament book of Hosea presents an intriquing account of the nation of Israel using metaphoric language. Hosea wrote this book to remind the Israelites that God is a loving God whose loyalty to His covenant people is unwavering. In spite of Israel's continual turning to false gods, God's steadfast love is portrayed in the long-suffering husband of the unfaithful wife. Hosea's message is also one of warning to those who would turn their backs on God's love. Through the symbolic presentation of the marriage of Hosea and Gomer, God's love for the idolatrous nation of Israel is displayed in a rich metaphor in the themes of sin, judgment, and forgiving love.
Here is a review online: 'Hosea is an exposition of theological ideas presented in the Book of Hosea. Discussion is based upon a critical analysis of Hebrew text and the literary forms of the book in the light of contemporary research. A new translation of the entire book is provided chapter by chapter, supported by critical notes on the Hebrew text. The prophet's declarations are shown to revolve around a distinctive interpretation of Israel's history in which the covenantal traditions have a prominent role and in which the future of the people of God is represented as a recapitulation of the past.'
