A wonderful resource for interpreting Scripture
“Hosea’s engagement with the culture of his day is magnificently illustrated in this volume of the Photo Companion to the Bible. This is a wonderful resource for interpreting Scripture for both visual learners and discerning readers.”
—J. Andrew Dearman, Senior Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary; author of The Book of Hosea in the New International Commentary on the Old Testament
An invaluable help in understanding
“Modern readers of Hosea often see only words in the course of encountering the Old Testament’s most vivid book of word pictures, metaphors, and similes. But in the Hosea entry for the Photo Companion of the Bible, an otherwise flat text gains all the visual textures that the prophet’s original audience would have ‘seen’ from Israel’s land, animals, and plants as they heard the proclamation of Yahweh’s message through Hosea. The high-quality photographs, charts, and archaeological information assembled in this collection are an invaluable help in understanding the book of Hosea in all its power and relevance.”
—Jerry Hwang, Academic Dean & Professor of Old Testament, Regent College; author of Hosea: God’s Reconciliation with His Estranged Household in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament
