Neglect of the book of Hosea in relation to justice arises from the common notion that he was a prophet of love, and although some studies concede that parts of the book deal with justice, it is often overlooked or given secondary importance to other concerns and themes. Ronald Laldinsuah addresses this misconception by demonstrating that Hosea was indeed a prophet of justice, and observes both the biblical concept and the secular notions of justice it is observed that justice must perpetuate right and true relationships. In ‘relational justice’ we see the inseparable relationship among humans, and between humans and God—emphasizing Hosea’s message of responsibility, chastisement and restoration.
