Bible (WEB) 32: Jonah
'Bible (WEB) 32: Jonah' Summary
The Book of Jonah is a short narrative in the Old Testament that tells the story of the prophet Jonah and his reluctant mission to preach repentance to the people of Nineveh, a city known for its wickedness. Jonah attempts to flee from God's command, ultimately being swallowed by a large fish and later vomited onto dry land. He reluctantly carries out his mission and is surprised when the Ninevites repent and God shows them mercy. Jonah is then upset that God would spare the Ninevites, leading to a confrontation with God about justice and mercy. The book explores themes of disobedience, repentance, God's mercy, and the universality of God's love.Book Details
