Hosea: An Introduction and Study Guide

This study guide introduces students to the Book of Hosea in the Old Testament. Hilary Marlow examines Hosea's structure and characteristics; covers the latest Biblical scholarship, including historical and interpretive issues; and considers a range of scholarly approaches.

In particular, Marlow looks at the division of the text into two main sections, language and style, and issues of redaction. She also considers the ways in which Hosea relates to contemporary concerns such as feminism and ecology.

With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to study of the Book of Hosea.

Hilary Marlow is a researcher at the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion and an affiliated lecturer in the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK.
