THOTC: Hosea

An expressly theological commentary on the difficult biblical book of
Hosea
In this commentary Bo Lim, an Old Testament scholar, and Daniel
Castelo, a theologian, come together to help the church recover and read the
prophetic book of Hosea in a way that is both faithful to its message and
relevant to our contemporary context.
Though Hosea is rich with imagery and metaphor that can be difficult to
interpret, Lim and Castelo show that with its focus on corporate and structural
sin it contains an important message for today's church. Critically engaging
the ancient biblical text, Lim provides a running commentary on Hosea, which is
interspersed throughout with illuminating theological essays by Castelo.
The only way to answer satisfactorily the difficult questions posed by
the book of Hosea, Lim and Castelo say, is through a theological interpretation
of the book. Their interdisciplinary work offers a constructive model for how
the church might faithfully read and proclaim the message of Hosea today.
