520 "The dominant reading of the book of Jonah -- that the
hapless prophet Jonah is a lesson in not trying to run
away from God -- oversimplifies a profoundly literary
biblical text, argues Amy Erickson. Likewise, the more
recent understanding of Jonah as satire is problematic in
its own right, laden as it is with anti-Jewish undertones
and the superimposition of a Christian worldview onto a
Jewish text. How can we move away from these stale
interpretations to recover the richness of meaning that
belongs to this short but noteworthy book of the Bible?
This Illuminations commentary delves into Jonah's
reception history in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic
contexts while also exploring its representations in
visual arts, music, literature, and pop culture. After
this thorough contextualization, Erickson provides a fresh
translation and exegesis, paving the way for pastors and
scholars to read and utilize the book of Jonah as the
provocative, richly allusive, and theologically robust
text that it is."--|cProvided by Freading.
