Presence in the Storm.
The book of Jonah is mostly remembered
for its oddity - a runaway prophet swallowed by a whale! But there must be more
to the book than that. And indeed there is. For one thing, it is a book
artfully constructed, with one chapter devoted to a psalm. It is a book that
will reward careful reading and meditation. But more than that, in the drama of
Jonah we find charted the course not just of this angular prophet but of
Israel's attitude toward its most despised neighbor in the Mediterranean world.
Jonah refuses to answer God's call to go and proclaim judgment because he knows
God is just the kind of God who respond in mercy and grace should the Assyrians
repent. Jonah will have no part of it - until he is compelled. And even then he
pities himself. The irony of this prophet's story is amusing - but it reaches
out and touches us where we are today. Rosemary Nixon's exposition explores the
book in its own right and helps us make the connections with our veiw of God
and his world today. (= 083082426X / 9780830824267)
