In Jonah: Introduction and Commentary, Amy Erickson reevaluates a range of interpretations of the book of Jonah to present her own fresh literary and theological understanding of the book's complex themes and characterizations. Drawing on Christian, Jewish, and Islamic reception history of Jonah, including the story's representations in the arts, literature, and pop culture, Erickson presents a History of Consequences section that spans centuries and crosses borders. Erickson's translation and interpretation pave the way for pastors and scholars to read and utilize the book of Jonah as the provocative, richly allusive, and theologically robust text that it is. Each passage includes a commentary on linguistic and thematic challenges to interpretation and translation.
