God’s Enduring Love in the Book of Hosea
A Synchronic and Diachronic Analysis of Hosea 11:1-11
by Joy P. Kakkanattu
Joy Philip Kakkanattu provides an exegetical theological analysis of Hosea 11:1-11 through a synchronic and diachronic reading. Detailed critical notes accompany the translation of the text from Hebrew. In the detailed exegesis, special attention is given to study of the key terms theologically significant in Hos 11:1-11 against the context of the whole book. The exegesis shows that in Hos 11:8-9 it is not the repentance of Yahweh that causes the withholding of His anger against Israel, but Yahweh’s constancy in His election of Israel as His son. The author concludes that the parent metaphor employed in Hos 11:1-11 speaks in terms of parent-child relationship expressing the Yahweh-Israel relationship.
