The narrative probes an individual's relationship with a demanding deity, considers vexing cultural issues of "us versus them," and examines the role of Israel's god in a universal and international context. The author examines the ways in which Jonah prods readers to contemplate these fundamental issues concerning group- and self-definition.In her technical study of Jonah's language, style, structure, content, and context, Niditch examines the text through the comparative lens of international folklore. The thread of appropriations of Jonah by post-biblical writers and artists is explored, and special attention is paid to rabbinic midrash, medieval Jewish manuscript illuminations, and Christian art of late antiquity. And in the tradition of Hermeneia volumes, the commentary evaluates and incorporates the insights of a long legacy of scholars who have explored this venerable text from varied perspectives."-- $c Publisher's description. 505 2 $a Introduction -- 1:1-3 Charge and avoidance -- 1:4-16 Group punishment and mollification -- 2:1-11 Individual punishment, petition, and forgiveness -- 3:1-4 Charge and fulfillment -- 3:5-10 Repentance and forgiveness -- 4:1-5 Anger, accusation, and departure -- 4:6-11 Mollification, destruction, anger, and stasis 630 00 $a Bible. $p Jonah $v Commentaries. 630 07 $a Bible. $p Jonah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01892918 655 7 $a Commentaries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423723 700 1 $a Vanderhooft, David Stephen, $e editor. 830 0 $a Hermeneia--a critical and historical commentary on the Bible. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074910.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA2628B4214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
