Hosea uses a type of oracle called a "covenant lawsuit" to get a message across. God is portrayed imaginatively as presenting a summon, charge, evidence and verdict. After a sentence is announced the terms for violating the "covenant" are dealt out. (Hosea 3:3-7, 4:1-19)
If you have watched all 6 parts, what do you think of this film version of Hosea? What do you marvel at in the book of Hosea?
