| Summary: | From a literary-historical point of view, one can assume that the conclusion to the Book of Jonah was continuously extended. The message behind the first form of the book - i.e. God the compassionate judge, of whom even the gentiles know (3:6-10) - is contradicted in 4:1-4 by the tradition of the prophet's grievance against God; this is then addressed in 4:5-11 with the idea that the nations are much too valuable to the creator to be subjected to a regimented, legalistic way of thinking. As for its content, the most noteworthy aspect is how a theological discourse about the interrelationship between God's justice, compassion and identity as creator has grown out of the narrative surrounding Jonah. |
