Top Highlights
“What is God’s relationship to those persons and communities outside of the covenant community?” (Page 363)
“Verse 2 of ch 2 affirms the character of Yahweh as one who responds to the cry of those who are in distress. This theme is consistent throughout the book. When one calls for mercy, whether that one be the sailors, the Ninevites, or the prophet himself, Yahweh responds with salvation.” (Page 374)
“Ancient Israel ultimately had to take their creed-like confession concerning God’s gracious and merciful character to its logical conclusion: How far does divine grace extend? What are the boundaries of grace?” (Page 364)
“The God we encounter in the Jonah narrative is a God who is touched by the cry of his creation. He is a God who enters into relationship with his creation, which compels him to respond to creation with grace and compassion. Changing his mind is in the very nature and function of the sovereign God.” (Page 384)
“How can you sleep? indicates, on the one hand, the captain’s concern over the imminent doom at sea; on the other hand, this question reveals Jonah’s total lack of concern over the destruction that is about to happen to the ship and its sailors.” (Page 368)
