What does the Book of Hosea teach us? What is the main theme, purpose, and meaning of the book of Hosea, and what lessons can we learn and apply to our lives today?

The Book of Hosea is certainly emotional and relational. In the message of Hosea, we see God's Word concerning false religion, spiritual adultery, injustice, heartbreak, judgment, the remnant, the restoration, and God’s unconditional love. People often talk about what they feel about God. However, Hosea tells us what God feels and thinks about Israel, sin, and us.

"Go and marry a prostitute." These are the first words God spoke to His prophet Hosea. Why would God ask one of His prophets to go to such extremes? Gomer repeatedly spurns the love of her youth, while her betrayed husband, Hosea, offers forgiveness and seeks to win her back. With this bold and uncomfortable imagery, Hosea tells the story of God and His people.

How does this speak to us and the culture in which we live? This verse-by-verse expository commentary makes Hosea's message applicable today. Especially in light of our cultural changes and the idolatry and sin that is rampant in the church.

Charles’ gift as an interpreter of God’s Word is clearly evident here in his treatment of this oft-neglected Minor Prophet. Designed primarily for the Pastor, Bible teacher, and serious student of God’s Word, this Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Hosea brings together commentary features rarely gathered together in one book.
