| Bible Question: The book of Jonah ends with the LORD putting the question to Jonah. Did Jonah ever get over his hatred of the Ninevites? |
|
Bible Answer: Good question! And like the carefully constructed short story that it is we aren't told (who's the hero of the book? How many characters in the story have names? Where'd Jonah get spit out? How'd he get to Nineveh? How long did that take?). However, given that the book is full of ironies (like a prophet of God disobeying and trying to run away (to where pray tell?), pagan sailors who offer a sacrifice as soon as they are able, a city repents, even the cattle wear sackcloth, etc.) it is highly likely that Jonah wrote it himself (reserving the ultimate irony for himself)--note that it is Jonah who gives the theology of the whole book: Jonah 4:2b. |
