#1 Hosea: Love’s Complaint, by Theodore Plantinga (Translator), Herman Veldkamp
“Though Hosea lived in the eighth century B.C., he must get a hearing today. His times and ours are similar in so many ways. Rev. Veldkamp, a minister of the Reformed Churches of The Netherlands, had the gift to let the Old Testament prophets speak, in today’s language, to both church and world. This highly readable, thoroughly Reformed, soul searching and mind stimulating work should be in every Christian home. It can be used for private or family devotional reading. Personally, I have found it profitable for sermon preparation. The translation by Dr. Theodore Plantinga is excellent.” - Johan D. Tangelder
#2 An Exposition of the Prophecy of Hosea, by Jeremiah Burroughs
Jeremiah Burroughs’s Exposition of the Prophecy of Hosea is a fine and mammoth treatment of an important prophet. Spurgeon called this work ‘masterly,’ noting that it is ‘a vast treasure-house of experimental exposition.’ No work on Hosea has since superseded this commentary.
“Reading Burroughs is always a treat for the spiritually-minded. His writings are expositionally sound and reliable, sane and usable, warm and devotional. We pray that God will use this reprint as a valuable tool, especially for ministers and Bible teachers as they prepare messages on this graphic prophet.” — Joel R. Beeke
