The only consensus that has been reached on Hosea 1-3 is that it is
a notoriously 'problematic' text. Sherwood unpicks this rather
vague statement by examining the particular complexities of the
text and frictions between the text and reader that conspire to
produce such a disorientating effect. Four dimensions of the
'problem' are considered: the conflict between text and reader over
the 'improper' relationship between Hosea and Gomer; the bizarre
prophetic sign-language that conscripts people into a cosmic
charade; the text's propensity to subvert its central theses; and
the emergent tensions between the feminist reader and the text.
Aiming to bring together literary criticism and biblical
scholarship, this book provides lucid introductions to ideological
criticism, semiotics, deconstruction and feminist criticism, and
looks at the implications of these approaches not only for the book
of Hosea but for biblical studies in general.
