| | A Commentary on the Book of Jonah - Cooper Abrams |
 | | Jonah, was the prophet of the Lord, and he did know God. | | | Jonah had left God, but God had not left Jonah. | | | The miracle of Jonah's deliverance was greater in that God raised him from the death. |

| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - JONAH, BOOK OF. |
| | The book does not bear the least evidence of having been written by the prophet or even during his time; and its age must be gathered from different indications. | | | In agreement with the view here expressed, the date of the book would fall some time toward the end of the fourth or in the fifth century; such a date is supported by other considerations. | | | It was probably the intention of the author, however, to confine himself to the narration of a story which, dealing with the prophet Jonah known to tradition, should be a vehicle for the lesson he meant to teach. |

| | Jonah |
| | Jonah preached to a monotheistic people, but the god they worshipped was Nebo. | | | In II Kings 14:25 Jonah is mentioned as being a prophet of God during the reign of King Jeroboam II (793-753 BC). | | | It is believed by some of the Jewish Rabbins that Jonah is to be identified with the dead son of a widow from Zarephath who was raised to life by Elijah (I Kings 17), however there is no basis at all for such an assumption. |

| | In the midst of that tension, God called Jonah to go to the capital of Assyria: "The word of the Lord came unto Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me" (Jonah 1:1-2). | | | Jonah replied, "I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land" (v. | | | Jonah could have repented, but instead he replied, "Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm for you; for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you" (v. |

| | USCCB - NAB - Jonah - Introduction |
| | The book has also prepared the way for the gospel with its message of redemption for all, both Jew and Gentile. | | | Whereupon Jonah complained to God about the unexpected success of his mission; he was bitter because Yahweh, instead of destroying, had led the people to repentance and then spared them. | | | It concerns a disobedient prophet who attempted to run away from his divine commission, was cast overboard and swallowed by a great fish, rescued in a marvelous manner, and sent on his way to Nineveh, the traditional enemy of Israel. |

| | Conversation Analysis and the Book of Jonah |
| | Jonah is a prophet and therefore should be loyal and obedient to the Lord. | | | Therefore, Jonah's oracle as given in the narrative should be viewed as constructed dialogue that does not fully represent the Lord's word to Nineveh (through Jonah), which Jonah is said to have given 'just as the Lord had commanded' (3.3). | | | On the other hand, Jonah's answer is the dispreferred second of a disagreement with an assessment--that is, the Lord asserts in the rhetorical question that Jonah's misery is not bad enough for a death-wish, but Jonah disagrees. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jonah |
| | According to the Septuagint text of the Book of Tobias (xiv, 4), the words of Jonah in regard to the destruction of Ninive are accepted as facts; the same reading is found in the Aramaic text and one Hebrew manuscript. | | | Not a single Father has ever been cited in favor of the opinion that Jonah is a fancy-tale and no fact-narrative at all. | | | Shortly, however, the gourd is stricken by a worm and the Prophet is exposed to the burning rays of the sun, whereupon he again murmurs and wishes to die. |

| | Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [Jonah, Introduction]. |
| | We read of this same Jonah 2 Kings xiv. | | | 25, where we find that he was of Gath-hepher in Galilee, a city that belonged to the tribe of Zebulun, in a remote corner of the land of Israel; for the Spirit, which like the wind, blows where it listeth, will as easily find out Jonah in Galilee as Isaiah at Jerusalem. | | | Probably Jonah was himself the penman of this book, and he, as Moses and other inspired penmen, records his own faults, which is an evidence that in these writings they designed God's glory and not their own. |
