Jonah's Journeys

The book of Jonah has been richly commented upon by centuries of Christians and Jews. Writers of prose and poetry have loved it as well as those interested in liturgy. Jonah is a small book about a man swallowed by a big fish while running from God. Yet it is concerned with issues powerful over time among readers of many types and cultures. In essence, interpreters of Jonah have a great deal of territory to explore. In Jonah's Journeys, Barbara Green, OP, focuses on the character Jonah and explores the variety of way in which the prophet and the book have been represented and understood over the ages. The question of how readers construct meaning is central to the text.
