Book excerpt: The books of the Latter Prophets have traditionally been treated as persuasive speeches, and interpreted according to their rhetoric. At the same time, interpreters recognize the poetic form of much prophecy. This study takes up the notion of the 'prophet' as 'poet', focusing on word-play in Hosea and on the lyrical plot of that book; the case is made for treating Hosea as a stark, full-length poem of inexhaustible power.

Download or read book Reward Punishment and Forgiveness written by Joze Krasovec and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 997 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with central and universal issues of reward, punishment and forgiveness for the first time in a compact and comprehensive way. Until now these themes have received far too little attention in scholarly research both in their own right and in their interrelationship. The scope of this study is to present them in relation to the foundations of our culture. These and related issues are treated primarily within the Hebrew Bible, using the methods of literary analysis. The centrality of these themes in all religions and all cultures has resulted, however, in a comparative investigation, drawing attention to the problem of terminology, the importance of Greek culture for the European tradition, and the fusion of Greek and Jewish-Christian cultures in our modern philosophical and theological systems. This broad perspective shows that the biblical personalist understanding of divine authority and of human righteousness or guilt provides the personalist key to the search for reconciliation in a divided world.

Download or read book The Prostitute and the Prophet written by Yvonne Sherwood and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only consensus that has been reached on Hosea 1-3 is that it is a notoriously 'problematic' text. Sherwood unpicks this rather vague statement by examining the particular complexities of the text and frictions between the text and reader that conspire to produce such a disorientating effect. Four dimensions of the 'problem' are considered: the conflict between text and reader over the 'improper' relationship between Hosea and Gomer; the bizarre prophetic sign-language that conscripts people into a cosmic charade; the text's propensity to subvert its central theses; and the emergent tensions between the feminist reader and the text. Aiming to bring together literary criticism and biblical scholarship, this book provides lucid introductions to ideological criticism, semiotics, deconstruction and feminist criticism, and looks at the implications of these approaches not only for the book of Hosea but for biblical studies in general.
Download or read book Poets Prophets and Texts in Play written by Ehud Ben Zvi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, a list of esteemed scholars engage with the literary readings of prophetic and poetic texts in the Hebrew Bible that revolve around sensitivity to the complexity of language, the fragility of meaning, and the interplay of texts. These themes are discussed using a variety of hermeneutical strategies. In Part 1, Poets and Poetry, some essays address the nature of poetic language itself, while others play with themes of love, beauty, and nature in specific poetic texts. The essays in Part 2, Prophets and Prophecy, consider prophets and prophecy from a number of interpretive directions, moving from internal literary analysis to the reception of these texts and their imagery in a range of ancient and modern contexts. Those in Part 3, on the other hand, Texts in Play, take more recent works (from Shakespeare to Tove Jansson's Moomin books for children) as their point of departure, developing conversations between texts across the centuries that enrich the readings of both the ancient and modern pieces of literature.

Book excerpt: In this commentary Old Testament scholar Bo Lim and theologian Daniel Castelo work together to help the church recover, read, and proclaim the prophetic book of Hosea in a way that is both faithful to its message and relevant to our contemporary context. Though the book of Hosea is rich with imagery and metaphor that can be difficult to interpret, Lim and Castelo show that, with its focus on corporate and structural sin, Hosea contains a critically important message for today’s church.
Download or read book Prophecy and Poetry written by Arthur Rogers and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume before us is a series of lectures delivered on the Bohlen Foundation by Rev. Dr. Rogers, a Rector of the Episcopal Church. This is in line with the progressive history of English Literature, as it has so often found its ablest exponents in the ranks of the clergy, as seen in Chalmers, Whately, Maurice, Stanley, Trench, Sprague, Channing, and others, the special studies of the Christian minister leading him so often into the related province of literary production. The sub-title of the volume is "Studies in Isaiah and Browning", the object being to institute a comparison between them, as prophet and poet. Of the nine chapters of the book, the first one- "The Common Ground of Poetry and Religion" may be said to lay the basis and set the form for all that follows. In such books as Santayana's "Poetry and Religion", Selkirk's "Ethics and Aesthetics of Modern Poetry", Brooke's "Theology of the English Poets", Shairp's "Culture and Religion", Scudders "Life of the Spirit in Modern English Letters" and Wilson's "Theology of Modern Literature" we have this fruitful theme, for as the author remarks-"It is impossible to say the last word about either of them", poetry being "the expression of man's highest thought" and religion "the satisfaction of his deepest need". However different, therefore, their spheres may be, they "cannot be kept apart." In chapters II, III, and IV, the author develops in full the sub-title of his work. In the first-"Isaiah Among the Prophets", he institutes a suggestive comparison between the mission of other prophets, such as Moses, Jeremiah and Hosea, and that of Isaiah, with his "passion for righteousness and contempt for half-way measures", "the most representative of them all". In the following chapter "Browning Among the Poets", he views him as contrasted with other great English poets-with Shakespeare and Wordsworth and Matthew Arnold and Tennyson, insisting that Browning, while net necessarily the greatest of our poets, has a message for all those "who are stirred by the thousand questions that give to life its interest." In chapter IV, "Isaiah and Browning", we have the specific study of these two world-authors as representing Prophecy and Poetry, wherein it is suggested that they were alike marked by intensity of spirit, by clearness, breadth and penetration of vision, by the same "enthusiasm of living, the same vigorous utterance and instinct of catholicity". In the five chapters that follow, these comparisons are continued. As Isaiah showed how Assyria was used by God to punish a sinful people, so Browning showed "how evil may be forced to do the work of good, in its own despite". As Isaiah taught how in the face of all chastisements "A Remnant shall Return", so Browning taught that under the direst conditions, something of good will be found to exist and survive. To the prophet and poet alike "The Meaning of the Future" was significant, so full of possibility and promise to those who viewed it aright. To each of them "The Force of Personality", divine and human, appealed, the "Besetting God", as he phrases it; in his closing chapter, being "a Dweller and Worker in his own world". Such, in barest outline, are the content, method and motive of a very interesting volume, one which we cordially commend to every student of Biblical and secular literature as a solid contribution to the subject discussed. Fresh and suggestive in its conceptions, extremely rich and pertinent in its concrete illustrations from scripture and the poets, guarded, in the main, from what might easily become extreme and forced comparisons, it presents in a vital manner these two great exponents of their respective generations and seeks to show that, though centuries apart and with vocations widely different, they were working on "common ground" and toward the same great moral ends.... -Princeton Theological Review, Volume 8 [1910]
Download or read book Hosea written by Gerald Flurry and published by Philadelphia Church of God. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all of the minor and major prophets in the Old Testament, the primary focus for the book of Hosea is the end time. The message delivered anciently was only a type of what is occurring today. It contains a tremendous warning that must be delivered now! Hosea was written first of all to God’s adulterous wife in this end time. That is how the book is introduced in the very first chapter. That has not been understood before—not until now! God deals with His Church first because that is the most important issue—by far. God’s next major concern, in this book, is the British peoples. After that, God is concerned about the nation of Judah, called “Israel” today. Hosea tells us that those who sow the wind are going to reap the whirlwind! But there is a beautiful ending to his message.

Download or read book Hosea written by Francis Landy and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reading of Hosea explores the book from a feminist, psychoanalytical and poetic perspective. What is God doing with a prostitute? How does the theme of prostitution relate to the abjection of the woman as the other, and the fantasy of sexual ecstasy, precisely because she escapes patriarchal order? Where is the prophet situated in the dialectic of rage and desire that both seduces and condemns Israel? His voice is both masculine and feminine, and poetically embodies the sensuality of wayward Israel. The ambiguity of voice is also that of the prophet's role, which is both to nurture Israel, as on its Exodus from Egypt, and to be the trap that destroys it. The problematic of voice and prophetic function is evident in the vivid dissection of Israel's social institutions, whose disintegration is inversely related to the centrality of the discussion in the structure of the book, and in the violent swings from despair to impossible hope. The focus on immediate and uncontrollable entropy, manifest in extended tangled metaphors, that occupies the centre of the book, is framed in the outer chapters by intertextual references to Israel's primordial vision, and the romantic distantiation of the Song of Songs, in which the erotic and poetic contradictions of the book find their perhaps ironic resolution.
Download or read book An Exposition of the Prophecy of Hosea Classic Reprint written by Jeremiah Burroughs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Exposition of the Prophecy of Hosea The author was prevented by several providences from preaching the foregoing sermon for some months to gether, insomuch as himself wondered what purpose God had in it; till at last God visited him by sickness, whereof he fell asleep in the Lord: his disease was thought to be infection, but without any sore, yea, and (as the gentlewoman his wife has related) without any spots or tokens of the plague; there was only a black settling of blood on one side of his back, which she supposed might have arisen from a fall from a horse, which he had met with not long before. This is mentioned by occasion of some contrary reports concerning his death. About the time of his immediate dissolution, he lifted up his eyes, and was heard to Speak these words, I come, I come, I come and so gave up the ghost. It had been much to he wished that the author had been more concise and brief in some amplifications, which, though all exceedingly useful, yet have deprived us of his preaching and completing both the former sermon, and the rest of the prophecy. But God was pleased (for our sin no doubt) to deprive us of that mediator-like instrument between the divided godly parties of this nation, and of the further mind of the Holy Ghost which he had revealed to this his servant, touching the scope and use of this prophecy in these days. God took him away in the strength of his parts and graces, that he might not lose in the reputation of his ministry or piety, as some have before their death. Also, though we cannot affirm, as one of Josiah, that he was taken away lest the evil of the time should have wrought upon his temper; yet we may say, as another doth, he was taken away from the evil to come, Isa. Lvii. 1. Moreover, it is not an unuseful note, that the Preface to the Tigurine Bible hath, whereof the inference is, That whilst in some weighty point we labour for great exactness and preparation, we are either disabled by our diligence, or prevented by our tardiness and delay; whereas moderate preparation seasonably applied might be more useful to the church, than such 'exactnes's so deferred. Which is not spoken to re ect any thing on our reverend author, but to admonish others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
