The Prophetic Life of Hosea: Demonstrating God's Unconditional Love

An exegetical and theological exposition of the Old Testament book of Hosea. The text is organized as a sequence of six units, each covering a key passage in the text, and presented within the context of the theme of that passage with an emphasis of its historical and literary context as well as its application to modern daily life. An exploration of the prophetic task of Hosea whose marriage to Gomer is an image of the relationship between YAHWEH and Israel. Each unit is useful for about thirty minutes of personal study, or about an hour of small-group study.
