Abstract

Dealing with biblical prophetism invariably involves approaching the contingent relationship between religious experience and history. Thus, when approaching the book of Hosea, this article recognizes the need to see the historical, social and political confluences that permeate its texts. However, when the apparent impossibility of treating such a work as if it were circumscribed in a single context becomes apparent, the task of examining the characteristics of the different moments that are latent in his pericopes and that marked his editorial process. Therefore, a critical reading of the so-called Deutoronomist History was adopted as a method, in constant dialogue with recent advances in archeology. At first, the beginnings of the monarchy in Israel are resumed, focusing on the rise, governmental peak and decline of the omrids. In sequence, the monarchical apex experienced by Jeroboam II and the weakening of the state with his successors were analyzed, in parallel with the development of the Jewish royalty, with emphasis on Josiah. Finally, specific attention was directed to the concreteness of social life during the reigns of these two monarchs. From this perspective, the prophetism in Hosea was seen in the complexity of its relationship with the different dimensions of the history that surrounded it.
