The book of Jonah is arguably just as jarring for us as it was for
the ancients. Ninevah's repentance, Jonah's estrangement from God
and the book's bracing moral conclusion all pose unsettling
questions for today's readers. For biblical theologians, Jonah also
raises tough questions regarding mission and religious conversion.
Here, Daniel Timmer embarks on a new reading of Jonah in order to
secure its ongoing relevance for biblical theology. After an
examination of the book's historical backgrounds (in both Israel
and Assyria), Timmer discusses the biblical text in detail, paying
special attention to redemptive history and its Christocentric
orientation. Timmer then explores the relationship between Israel
and the nations--including the question of mission--and the nature
of religious conversion and spirituality in the Old Testament. This
New Studies in Biblical Theology volume concludes with an
injunction for scholars and lay readers to approach Jonah as a book
written to facilitate spiritual change in the reader. Addressing
key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies
in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians
better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A.
Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact
with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
