The complex and, at times, violent metaphorical discourse of Hosea
2 has elicited a variety of interpretive approaches. This study
explores the text from the perspective of rhetorical criticism. The
classical conception of rhetoric as the art of persuasion and the
function of metaphor within persuasive discourses and social
settings correlate with the oracular characteristics of Hosea 2 and
illuminate its use of specific metaphors. A reading of Hosea 2 from
this perspective proposes that the prophets of Israel may have
functioned in a manner similar to the orators of ancient Greece,
who delivered extended rhetorical discourses designed to discern
meaning in contemporary events and to persuade audiences. This
study offers a distinctively political reading of Hosea 2 that
explores the text as a metaphorical and theological commentary on
the political and religious dynamics in Israel at the close of the
Syro-Ephraimitic War (731-730 BCE). "Paperback edition is available
from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)"
