Description
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, and yet it is placed with issues that have shown themselves existentially powerful over time and among readers of many types and cultures.
In essence, Jonah's journey's among interpreters have had a great deal of territory to explore. In Jonah's Journey's, Barbara Green, OP, focuses on the character Jonah and explores the variety of ways in which the prophet and the book have been represented and understood by various interpreters.
The question of how readers construct meaning is central to the text. Barbara Green, OP, Ph.D., is professor of Biblical Studies at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley.
She is editor of the Interfaces series published by Liturgical Press and author of several books within the series including: King Sal's Asking and From Earth's Creation to John's Revelation: The Interfaces Biblical Storyline Companion.
