Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

There are a few issues on line:

10- please remove the definite article before Assyria.

line 34 watch tense of view (viewed?)

line 51- Support with authority and the use of capital 'G')for God.

 

157 "judgements" please check wording 

161-162, 169-179-there are issues with the hermeneutics of the Hose 4:28, I disagree with the author's interpretation here. 

183- The categorical statement that "Noah being the second Adam cannot be mistaken", goes against the Pauline reference to Jesus as the second Adam.

 

Comments on the Quality of English Language

254 the use of 'faith' instead of 'fate'.

136 watch the tense for criticise, the same applies to 155 'judged'

142 states?

Line 250-The buildup to the problem addressed (build-up?)

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This is a promising idea for a paper, but it is too wide-ranging in what it seeks to cover and in its references in the space available. There are a vast number of references to scholarly works and a wide number of references to and general comments on different parts of the Old Testament, which often involve assuming a position that is questionable but that there is no space to argue. The result is that there is very little space for consideration of Hosea, and what consideration of Hosea there is, is generalities. There is little treatment of the text and little demonsration of how the modern questions illumine the actual text or the text illumines the modern questions. It might be enough for the author to keep the scholarly references and just cut out the references to other parts of the Old Testament, and use that space for more concrete interaction with Hosea

Comments on the Quality of English Language

There are quite a few slips and oddities (e.g., "the Assyria," "the Pentateuch, entails codes," "in prophet Hosea."

Author Response

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This version is superior to the previous one, though it still does not really match the title or the abstract. I recommend publication, but it would be better to change to title to"... in the Old Testament" rather than "...in Hosea."

There are a few typos
