		This book stands first in order among the "Minor prophets." This was the longest of the prophetic books written before the Babylonian captivity.

	A Form-Critical Rereading of Hosea
		Hosea begins with a superscription in Hos 1:1 which must necessarily stand apart from the following material in that it serves as an introduction to the balance of the book that identifies its contents, author, and the historical setting in which it is to be read.
		Hosea points especially to the kings of Israel as one of the fundamental causes for Israel's problems in that YHWH did not desire kingship for Israel in the first place and because the northern kings are so closely associated with the idolatry and violence that Hosea perceives throughout the land (see esp. Hos 8:1-6).
		This indicates that the book of Hosea may be initially addressed to Israel, but it addresses Judah as well, and it does so in a manner that defines the return of Israel to YHWH as a return of Israel to Judah and the house of David.
