New Hosea Commentary (NICOT)

Andrew Dearman's new commentary on Hosea (NICOT) has just been published, and WTS Books is offering it for 45% off of its list price until August 19th. They are also offering an extra 10% off of every NICOT volume's already discounted price with a purchase of 2 or more (so if someone buys 2 NICOT volumes they will receive an extra 10% off of each).

This is an excellent set of commentaries, and I have yet to be disappointed with any volume I own (but they are expensive, so this is an opportunity to take advantage of getting them at a discounted price).

Here is what folks are saying about this new volume on Hosea.

Mark J. Boda writes:
This is a welcome addition to the NICOT series. Dearman's commentary provides the most recent deep engagement with the ancient text of Hosea the prophet. Dialoguing with the best of scholarship, the commentary offers both detailed exegesis of the text with accompanying translation from the original Hebrew, as well as general overviews at key literary junctures to orient the reader to the progressive development of the book as a whole. Particularly helpful is Dearman's sensitivity to the social context of ancient Israelite households. He restores the vivid metaphorical colors of the book of Hosea long faded by history.

Tremper Longman III writes:
Serious engagement with the book of Hosea now starts with Dearman's commentary.

Bill T. Arnold:
This is a welcome addition to the NICOT series on one of the most important prophets of ancient Israel.... readers will not be disappointed by Dearman's thorough and penetrating exegesis.
