Reading Hosea in Achaemenid Yehud
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Reading Hosea in Achaemenid Yehud offers an examination of the final form of Hosea within the socio-historical context of Persian period Judah. It makes use of insights from historical-critical and reader-oriented perspectives. The amalgamation of these two seemingly divergent approaches creates a framework within which the setting and interpretive practices of both the modern critic and the ancient reader can be taken seriously. The resulting examination proposes a reading of Hosea shaped, as far as possible, by the reading conventions and socio-religious concerns of Persian period Judahites.
