The (In)Coherence of Divine Mercy: A Discourse-Linguistic Analysis of Hosea 12-14 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004699021)

How do texts of Scripture make sense or hold together as a unity? This question is especially germane to the Masoretic Text of Hosea, which is often seen as an unintegrated composition by some, or an artful literary whole by others. Such judgments often come without clear definitions and criteria for (in)coherence. This book brings descriptive clarity to this issue through a discourse analysis of cohesion and coherence in Hosea 12-14 based on Systemic Functional Linguistics. This study showcases the theme of divine mercy in Hosea 12-14 and gives readers tools for discourse-linguistic analysis of the Hebrew Bible.
