The anthology features a curated collection of Rabbinic interpretations of the biblical prophet Hosea, showcasing how the Rabbis of formative Judaism engaged with the text for insights on theology, law, history, and literature. Jacob Neusner organizes these comments in a documentary sequence, highlighting the continuity of thought from the Mishnah to the Bavli over the first six centuries of the Common Era. This work offers a unique perspective on the intersection of Rabbinic literature and prophetic scripture.
