Abstract

This paper seeks to explore the idea of da‘ath ’elôhim (“knowledge of God”) in the Book of Hosea, the prophet. It argues that to Hosea the “knowledge of God” implies a definite move from ‘head’ knowledge about God and His Laws to practical application of them in obedience by the Hosea’s auditors,’ the “applied knowledge.” Such an act is a grand recognition of God’s truth and power which results in issuing of appropriate conduct on the part of Hosea’s auditors based on a true understanding of God. Hence, the paper, based on the result of the survey done among the people of Rivers State of Nigeria maintains that there is an immediate need to affirm applied knowledge among them as the respondents reflect overwhelmingly high level of ‘head’ knowledge of God without its practical application in their personal, social and political spheres of life.
