Hosea: Audio Lectures: 11 Lessons on Literary Context, Structure, Exegesis, and Interpretation

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Hosea: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Hosea: Audio Lectures, together with the accompanying text on Hosea from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Jerry Hwang traces the flow of argument in the book of Hosea, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say.

More than any other Old Testament prophet, Hosea speaks of YHWH's covenant with his people as a family affair rather than a legal proceeding. Hosea’s personal experiences become living proof of YHWH's commitment to his people as well as the rest of creation. In the process, the book of Hosea testifies to how the dealings of YHWH with the tiny kingdoms of Samaria and Judah are nothing less than the fulcrum of history. In this video study, each lecture offers the main idea of the passage, its literary context and Hebrew structure, an explanation of the text, and its practical significance for both the original audience and for us today.
