The Oxford Handbook of Hosea. New York: Oxford University Press, 2024, 520 p. interpretação ou que são representativas das tendências atuais na pesquisa do livro de Oseias.

Cada ensaio aborda um elemento em particular e faz um levantamento crítico de estudos anteriores antes de apresentar abordagens atuais e prospectivas.

Portanto, embora dedicada ao livro de Oseias, a coleção de ensaios neste volume fornece um instantâneo de como deve ser a pesquisa atual sobre um livro profético.

A coleção começa com ensaios orientados para o contexto discutindo a história, o texto e o crescimento composicional de Oseias.

O volume inclui uma seção de ensaios sobre perspectivas estabelecidas e emergentes sobre os principais textos representativos do livro.

Em seguida os ensaios tratam dos principais elementos teológicos e literários, temas e motivos do livro de Oseias, antes de prosseguir para examinar diversas teorias interpretativas, contextos e abordagens.

O último grupo de ensaios no volume investiga as principais tendências na história da recepção de Oseias, incluindo o uso do livro em filmes e romances populares, bem como a interpretação asiática e afro-americana.

The Oxford Handbook of Hosea is a collection of essays that provide resources for the interpretation of the book of Hosea. The volume examines interpretive elements and approaches that are deemed essential for interpretation or that are representative of significant trends in present and future study. Each essay addresses one particular element or approach and will critically survey prior scholarship before presenting current and prospective approaches.

In many ways, research on the book of Hosea is representative of the developments and current trends in prophetic study as a whole. Hence, while dedicated to the book of Hosea, the collection of essays in this volume provides a snapshot of what today’s fully orbed scholarship on a prophetic book should look like. The collection begins with background-oriented essays that discuss the history, text, and compositional growth of Hosea. The volume includes a section of essays that survey established and emerging perspectives on key representative texts from the book. The essays then treat the book of Hosea’s major theological and literary elements, themes, and motifs before moving on to examine diverse interpretive theories, contexts, and approaches. The final group of essays in the volume investigates major trends in the reception history of Hosea, including the book’s use in popular movies and novels, as well as Asian and African American interpretation.
