Hosea didn't preach from a distance. He lived it.

God gave him the most shocking assignment any prophet ever received: marry a woman of harlotry, stay faithful even when she isn't, and then speak to a nation that had betrayed its God the very same way.
Join Rabbi Mark Fishman as he opens up the Bible's rawest, most emotionally vivid book from the land of Israel. Discover the Talmudic backstory that changes everything about how you read Hosea -- and see why this ancient love story speaks as urgently today as it did 2,500 years ago. This is just one of many courses you can access with your Bible Plus Subscription.
