The third volume in Dr. Drazin’s six-volume Biblical commentary.
The prophet Hosea discusses topics that stand at the core of Jewish thought – such as moral conduct, the correct mode of worship, the Jewish people’s relationship with God, and repentance. The Talmud even credits Hosea with developing the idea of repentance, a concept that has become the central theme of the High Holidays. Yet the book is filled with obscure words and rich imagery, which make it particularly difficult to understand. Through a detailed analysis of the words of the prophet and his story, Dr. Drazin unpacks the book’s messages for the modern reader.
- Provides a clear, unbiased analysis of the biblical book Hosea.
- Brings both traditional and scholarly sources to inform the discussions.
- Includes a fascinating analysis of the evolution of key biblical concepts in Jewish thought.
- Provides a reader-friendly translation and commentary that explains the book’s many obscurities without compromising the complexity of the original language
- Hardcover
- Page Count: 220
