    Bruce Waltk Hosea Summary

    Hosea is a prophetic book telling story of the prophet, Hosea who both lived and prophesied in the northern kingdom of Israel. Amongst scholars, the consensus regarding the dating of the events detailed within Hosea as having occurred between 755-722 BCE, stemming largely from the books opening verse which detail the kings of Judah and Israel during the ministry of Hosea (1:1). Nearly immediately, Hosea is established as a prophet whom the Lord spoke “through” and “to” (1:2), however, there is no clear indication of authorship in the book as Hosea is referred to both in first person (3:1; 3:2; 3:3) and third person (1:3; 1:4; 1:6). David Hubbard argues that the transition from spoken oracles to the writing of the canonical book is not easily charted, but believes the spoken oracles likely were brought to Judah by Hosea’s disciples, as refugees, after the fall of Samaria in 722/721 BCE, an event which would have validated the prophetic ministry of Hosea prompting an early recording of his prophetic oracles.…

    Minor Prophets: Final Section Of The English Bible

    The Minor Prophets, including the books from Hosea to Malachi, form the final section of the Old Testament canon in the English Bible.

Then, in turn, they predicted the fall of Assyria and Babylon and the final restoration of Judah.…

    Book Of Judges Research Paper

    Throughout the book of Judges, the Israelites went through many hard times. They created this cycle that they could not get rid of. The Israelites had many “judges” to help them get onto the right track with God but it never really worked out. After each “judge” would die then they would just go back into the sin they had started. I believe the Hebrews were very disappointed reading the book of Judges seeing how their ancestors acted instead of putting their trust in God.…

    Analysis Of Philip Yancey's Book 'The Bible Jesus Read'

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading through all seven chapters of Philip Yancey’s book “The Bible Jesus Read.” It felt as though I was sitting across form the writer just soaking in all he had to say. After reading commentaries and Bible dictionaries, this book gave a fresh perspective on the Old Testament. Yancey was not interested in the nitty gritty details of the Old Testament like date and author of books, but rather focusing on the point and the big picture.…
