What are some problems with the headingsuperscription of


I am going to attach the reading of chapter 10 Hosea.

I will post the questions below and then you have to answer them. Please make sure it is not plagiarized as they will check.

Here are the questions :
1. What are some problems with the heading/superscription of Hosea?

2. What did Jehu and his dynasty do to upset Hosea (especially in Hosea 1:4-5)?

3. Why did many, like Hosea, believe that "the nabi is a fool, the man of the spirit (ish haruach) is mad" (Hos 9:7)?

4. Explain how the names of Hosea's three children, Jezreel, Lo-Ruhama, and Lo Ammi, have "progressively sinister connotation."

5. How might have the book of Hosea reached its present form?

6. Does Hosea marry one or two women, and just how sexually active was/were this/these woman/women? Explain these issues.

7. Explain how archaeology and non-biblical texts show that "the dominant religion, not only in Israel but in Judah was a syncretic blend of the Yahweh cult with other cults of the region, especially those directed at the Canaanite pantheon."

8. How and why does Blenkinsopp argue that Canaanite religion was not addicted to sexual excess? (p. 89).

9. Instead of focusing on social justice and civil rights like Amos, what instead does Hosea focus on, and why?
