Why does Jacob the Patriarch show up in Hosea 12? Hosea makes a number of comparisons between Israel and Jacob the Patriarch in Genesis. On the surface, some of these moments in the rhetoric are confusing. Our podcast guest, Jonathan Finley, wrote his Masters Thesis on this topic. Jonathan shares a number of insightful thoughts on the flow of the rhetoric in Hosea while also pointing out fascinating details in the text.
Jonathan has a M.Th. in Biblical Studies from the University of Edinburgh.
