Hosea, though often referred to as the prophet of doom, is one of the Bible’s most profound illustrations of God’s love for his people and his promised redemption. These eight volumes represent some of the best studies on Hosea from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century. You’ll get practical expositions of Hosea’s marriage to Gomer, critical examinations of the Hebrew and Septuagint texts, theologically rich explorations of Hosea 14’s promise of future restoration, and much more. These volumes are essential for anyone studying Hosea—students, scholars, pastors, and historians alike.

Hosea’s marriage to Gomer is one of the Bible’s most profound illustrations of God’s love for Israel, and Christ’s love for his people. In this volume, nineteenth-century English evangelist Joseph Denham Smith fleshes out the “line of gospel truth” that runs throughout Hosea. His commentary is driven by evangelical purpose, and presents the gospel as it appears in Hosea in clear and simple lines.
