Hosea : a handbook on the Hebrew text

In this volume, Eric J. Tully provides a foundational analysis of the text of Hosea.

Hosea is distinguished by the detailed and comprehensive attention paid to the Hebrew text.

Tully's analysis is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Hebrew text that are not always addressed in standard commentaries.

Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key, Hosea also reflects the most up-to-date advances in scholarship on Hebrew grammar and linguistics - specifically, this edition relies on the methodology of generative grammar utilized in other recent volumes in this series.

This handbook proves itself an indispensable tool for anyone committed to a deep reading of the Hebrew biblical text.
