In Hosea's God: A Metaphorical Theology, Mason Lancaster demonstrates that recent advances in metaphor theory help untangle the divergent portrayals of God in the book of Hosea. Lancaster analyzes fifteen metaphor clusters in Hosea 4-14 individually, then discerns patterns and reversals between the clusters.

Based on this analysis, Lancaster asserts that Hosea's metaphorical depiction of Yahweh ultimately derives from the primacy of Yahweh's fidelity to Israel.
