Few parts of the Bible have captured the imagination of individuals
in the way that the book of Jonah has. James Limburg examines this
well-known book, keeping 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 it 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 the literary dimension
of the texts and takes great care to follow the divisions of the
book as they were defined by Jewish scribal tradition. Limburg
begins his commentary with a fresh translation of the biblical book
of Jonah and continues with a careful examination of the text,
pointing out the significance of this old story for our own time.
An extensive appendix provides highlights from the interpretation
of Jonah in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
