| Summary: | This article aims to examine the book of Jonah using the narrative criticism method. The book is divided into pericopes, viz. narrative units, based on specific criteria. For each pericope, the author attempts to demarcate the initial situation, complication, transforming action, resolution, and final situation. Light is shed on the complication part of each pericope, and it is argued that the complication of the first pericope, i.e. sending Jonah to Nineveh to convert its people, is the main complication of the book and is the one that leads to all the other complications. |
