Sailhamer’s view of Hos 11:1.  When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2 The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and offering incense to idols.

He says Hosea is really thinking of the messiah here. Enns refutes this.

“My impression as to why the debate over Second Temple influence on the NT authors continues is not because the facts are in serious question (although they should always continue to be thought through), but because these facts cause difficulties for a doctrine of Scripture that modern evangelicalism has constructed for itself.”

“the implications of the fact that apostolic hermeneutics is a Second Temple phenomenon.”
