Description
The Judgement of Jonah offers a comprehensive scholarly examination of one of the Bible’s most intriguing narratives. Alastair G. Hunter explores the theological significance of Jonah’s story, analyzing how it reflects the complex relationship between the God of Israel (Yahweh), the city of Jerusalem, and the ancient Assyrian capital of Nineveh.
This volume situates the Book of Jonah within its historical and literary context, examining themes of divine judgment, mercy, and the boundaries of God’s concern. Hunter investigates how the narrative addresses questions of national identity, religious exclusivism, and universal divine grace during a period of significant political upheaval in the ancient Near East.
As part of the prestigious Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies series, this work provides rigorous textual analysis and theological interpretation suitable for scholars, theology students, and advanced biblical studies readers seeking deeper understanding of this canonical text.
