Hardcover. Etat : New. This study is a socio-rhetorical reading of the book of Hosea examining the powerful love relationship shown from God to His chosen people (the Israelites) after they have broken the Sinai covenant by worshipping other gods. The study does this through an examination of the metaphors in the book of Hosea describing the imagery of love as a paradigm of covenantal relationship. The Old Testament prophets constantly speak of God's love in terms of justice, compassion, judgment, etc. Yet in the book of Hosea the theme of personal love husband-wife, father-son, healing love is very clearly defined and appears to be given a strong emphasis when God speaks of His relationship with His people through the Sinai covenant. The researcher is interested in pursuing this theme. The researcher argues that while many authors have studied Hosea, the use of the personal love theme by examining the character of God as shown in the three personal love metaphors in the book has not been studied. Questions about the nature of this relationship remain to be explored: is it is a legal covenant type love or is there some deeper motivation that guides God to act in the way He does? The researcher explores the idea that the reason God kept His side of the covenant in spite of Israel's backsliding is because the stakes were higher: He wants to send a message to the other nations. The researcher wants to unravel how the rhetorical imagery reveals this unstated purpose. By probing these questions the researcher evaluates Hosea's special contribution as God's chosen messenger to the understanding that Israel had of its unique covenantal relationship to God and its role in reaching out to the other nations.…

Conclusion Bibliography The imagery and metaphors used in Hosea are best interpreted through the use of socio-rhetorical methodology. With the aid of this methodology, the reading of the metaphors in Hosea has emerged recently; they are used to illustrate social, political, economic and religious relationships. Hosea uses different images, to highlight God's love for the people of Israel. The images chosen are of human relationships, ones that Israelites can easily understand marital (husband-wife), parental (parent-child), and healing (physician-patient). These images remind Israel that she has broken the Sinaitic covenant, gravely impairing the relationship. The broken covenant hurts Yahweh and yet he is willing to repair it on account of his "steadfast love." The images are found in Hosea 2-3, Hosea 11 and Hosea 14, the select texts of our study. The metaphors, with Yahweh as husband, parent and physician, are ones that the Israelites would recognise in human terms. This Yahweh is not the stern Yahweh we are used to seeing in the Old Testament. This is a different, loving Yahweh, who is willing to forgive and forget Israel's offence and welcome her back into His arms. This image of Yahweh gives a new meaning to the relationship established through the Sinaitic covenant between Yahweh and His people. …
