In this volume, now available in a new casebound edition, James
Limburg examines Jonah with several questions in mind: How did the
story originate? What is its place in the Bible? How did the New
Testament understand the story? How has the story been understood
in Judaism and in Islam? What might t mean for people today? And
what does it have to say about God, about the human condition, and
even about God and nature? In reviewing the book, Limburg gives
special attention to the many contributions of artists, musicians,
painters, and sculptors who, he says, may have been the best
interpreters of Jonah. He also keeps in mind literary dimension of
the text and takes great care to follow the divisions of the book
as they were defined by Jewish scribal tradition. The Old Testament
Library provides fresh and authoritative treatments of important
aspects of Old Testament study through commentaries and general
surveys. The Contributors are scholars of international standing.
