Bible Study Syllabus (Hosea)
This is the syllabus used when the Bible study was reading the book of Hosea, in the spring of 2007. Throughout the Hosea study we referred to one extra-scriptural text each week, Daniel J Simundson's commentary. Additionally, there were supplemental readings each week.
