The Author

Hosea, the son of Beeri from Israel, authored a book that was deeply influenced by the prophet Amos. Hosea’s wife Gomer’s unfaithfulness caused him immense pain, and he was acutely aware of the sins of his people. As he sought to bring them back to God, he was a sensitive and poignant evangelist. Hosea ministered for several years following 746 B.C.E.
