Most scholars since the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have agreed on the contemporaneous dating of Hosea and the Book of Hosea to the time of Jeroboam II , although some redaction-critical studies of Hosea since the 1980s have postulated that the theological and literary unity was created by editors, and scholars differ significantly in their interpretations of the redaction process, stages, and the extent of the eighth-century prophet’s original contributions.

The Oxford Handbook of the Minor Prophets . Much of Hosea appears to reflect the circumstances and events of the eighth century (Na'aman 2015) Kelle, Brad E.
