Miłość Boga w doświadczeniu duchowym Ozeasza (Oz 2,4-25)
The Love of God in Hosea’s Spiritual Experience (Hos 2,4-25)

Summary/Abstract: The Love of God experienced by the prophet Hosea (8th century BC) is closely linked in its description, which is contained in Hos 2,4-25, with the historical and existential context: Israel’s idolatry and the marital infidelity of the Prophet’s wife. In the face of this situation this Love reveals its spousal character. It is characterized by ‘jealousy’ – fervent concern for the relationship’s exclusiveness with simultaneous intolerance of adultery, the latter being connected with the dimension of justice. This aspect, however, is complemented by another: mercy – the readiness to forgive and do anything to save the unfaithful wife and to restore the lost unity. The marital Love of God outlined by Hosea will find its embodiment in the Person of Jesus Christ – the Spouse of the Church.
