Keefe's analysis dismantles the androcentric and theological assumptions which have determined the dominant reading of Hosea's metaphor of Israel as the adulterous wife of God. The study considers Hosea 1-2 in the context of the association of sexual transgression and social violence in Hosea's symbol of Israel as an adulterous woman is read as a commentary upon the structural violence in Israelite society.
