Book Description

Publication Date: Oct 28 2005 | Series: Forms Of The Old Testament Literature (Book 21)

Hosea by Ehud Ben Zvi is Volume XXIA/1of The Forms of the Old Testament Literature, a series that aims to present a form-critical analysis of every book and each unit in the Hebrew Bible. Fundamentally exegetical, the FOTL volumes examine the structure, genre, setting, and intention of the biblical literature in question. They also study the history behind the form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the terminology for the genres and formulas of the biblical literature, and expose the exegetical process so as to enable students and pastors to engage in their own analysis and interpretation of the Old Testament texts. His second work for the FOTL series, Ehud Ben Zvis Hosea features a comprehensive introduction and careful commentary with special attention to themes of exile and restoration, as well as extended discussion of didactic prophetic readings. An excellent form-critical interpretation of the book of Hosea, this volume will be a valuable aid to scholars, students, and teachers.

3.0 out of 5 stars a sleeper not a keeper July 30 2008

By H. Low - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I found this book extremely cumbersome to read. His main argument presupposes a level of literacy in ancient Israel that i do not think history supports. A very expensive book that is not worth even half the price.
