Idolatry and Spiritual Adultery in the Book of Hoseah
After the return from exile, idolatry simply doesn't seem to be the same prominent issue within the post exilic period. This seems out of keeping with the supposed context of so called trito isaiah set within the land of israel. In jeremiah, chapter three, verse six, we find descriptions that match some of those in this chapter. The sights of their adulterous relationships with the idols and false gods are found throughout the land. They are here described as marking the lord, dishonouring him by their spiritual infidelity.
