Content warning: Hosea depicts images of violence and abuse, particularly towards women.
Leader notes
One theologian, Phyllis Tribble, has aptly named some passages from Hosea as “Texts of Terror” since they have been so troubling over the years. If you’re interested, I’ve attached an article detailing the history of interpretation of Hosea and some attempts to contextualize it. I find Hosea one of the most difficult books of the Bible to read, but I believe there is still a great deal of value in gathering to talk about every single piece of scripture.
Blessings,
