About the book

The Book of Jonah tells the biblical story of the prophet Jonah, who attempts to flee after God commands him to preach to the city of Nineveh. A storm, a great fish and Jonah's reluctant mission become part of a short but profound narrative about obedience, repentance, mercy and the limits of human judgement. Its vivid story and moral complexity have made Jonah one of the most enduring books of the Hebrew Bible.
