The basic premise of this dissertation is that the land theme is the central theme of the Old Testament and that behind this theme stands entire theology of the land which makes whole biblical text coherent and dynamic. Reading biblical text as theology of the land opens an ability to understand more clearly God's instructions in deliberations on solving existential problems of religious life and to find a way of its moral testimony in religious behavior: political, ethical, ecological, economic and ritual. In the first chapter, after pointing out the need and importance of the land theme, historical development of theology of the land is explained and shown. The basic research and knowledge about Hosea, as shown in the second chapter, confirms that his book made a strong impact on the development of the land theme in other biblical books. For that reason the book of Hosea was considered as a prototype of the prophetic literature, and Hosea, as the initiator of a new theological view on the land theme. Original approach to the land theme and theological messages that are designed by means of Hosea’s metaphorical speech on the land is elaborated in the third chapter of this dissertation. The conclusions after studying the land metaphors, presented in the fourth chapter, reveal that, in the context of overwhelming crisis that occurred in Hosea homeland, Hosea’s metaphorical speech can be understood as a deconstruction of the concept of land present in minds of his hearers and construction of its new meaning. By promoting the truth of faith about life-giving connection between God and the fate of the Israel and their country, through the metaphors about land Hosea develops a new vision, a new structure of insight and new experience of reality of life in/on the land that has lost its former theological, and a real value. In the approach to the text of the Book of Hosea used in this dissertation the achievements of modern exegetical science and knowledge in the field of other biblical sciences, and especially biblical metaforology is well used. Investigation of the concept of the land in the metaphors used by Hosea includes examining tripartite relation man-God-land in the light of religious, political and economic aspects of life in Israel during the activity of the prophet Hosea. This research of Hosea’s metaphors on the land reveals that, because of cross-cultural and trans-temporal power of the metaphor, and existentiality of the land concept, those metaphors still have the power to change the worldviews of contemporary people. Hosea’s metaphors on the land are communicative channel through which a God’s message about the land can get to us. The existential character of the land concept opens up the possibility of transferring its theological meaning and theological values of the land theme from time and circumstances of Hosea at the present time and present historicalpolitical and religious circumstances.
