AB 24: Hosea

A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.
Thiscommentary consists of an Introduction in which a review and rethinking of
Hosea-research is given that offers a fascinating interpretation of the
prophet's life and work. The Translation is unique insofar as the literary
integrity of the text is scrupulously adhered to. In the Notes for both scholar
and general reader there is cultural and linguistic information that sets each
passage within the sociohistoric context of the eight century before Christ.
Hebrew vocabulary, syntax, and poetic language are examined in an effort to
confront one of the most obscure sections of biblical literature.
'This massive commentary is one of the best on any biblical book. For one
thing, the authors are permitted the space to do a fuller job of commenting on
the Hebrew text. Both authors are well-known, respected linguists. Andersen
has some theological sense. The book is marred a little by a syllable-counting
approach to meter.' - Tremper Longman
