Hosea is a short book that most readers skirt, partly because the Hebrew is difficult and partly because the marriage at its center is painful. This volume pairs two things that rarely appear together: the exacting exposition of the Hebrew text by George J. Zemek, and the pastoral application by J. Todd Murray.
Together they provide an exegetical and pastoral commentary on an often overlooked prophet. Within its pages God's wrath against sin is presented alongside the astounding grace he shows toward sinners, which is precisely the tension Hosea was written to hold. For a preacher working through the book, and for a reader who wants the text handled carefully.
