Jonah - A New Translation With Introduction, Commentary, and Interpretation

Informationen zum Autor Jack M. Sasson , the Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Jewish Studies and Hebrew Bible at Vanderbilt University, lives in Nashville, TN. He is past president of the American Oriental Society and the International Association for Assyriology. Zusammenfassung Were Jonah's experiences true to the history of ancient Israel? Were they meant to be read comically! philosophically! allegorically! symbolically! or realistically? And is God godly when acting beyond the comprehension of prophets! let alone ordinary human beings? This volume considers these and many more other issues.
