Hosea and the Hosean tradition play an important role in the
internal Israelite dispute about the nature of God and his relation
to the world and Israel. Hosea refers to traditions of the past in
which the interdependence between Yahweh and Israel, and in
particular Yahweh's care for his people, are recurrent themes. The
prophet can presuppose that certain portions of these traditions,
both "historical" and "theological", are known to his audience, but
it is his claim that what is not known to Israel is the demand that
is inherent in Yahweh's past dealings with his people, the demand
for exclusive worship of Yahweh. In his "historical"
retrospections, Hosea enphasizes time after time that Israel has
been chosen, not for a life of passive retreat, but to serve
Israel's God alone. This he proclaims as the true knowledge of God.
