Christ references story of this defiant prophet as a type of his own three day death and resurrection, and no scene is more common in early Christian art that Jonah and the fish. In this commentary, Dr. Reed Lessing provides an original translation and a critical focus on Jonah as a true historical narrative, assumed by Christ Himself. Ironically, Jonah the Israelite begrudges God's abundant grace, while Gentiles are converted to saving faith through the power of the preached Word. Lessing interprets Jonah as a faithful an example of repentance, God's grace, and the problems of pride in Christian life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA history of interpretation on Jonah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exploration of Jonah as both a true historical narrative and a satire of typical prophetic works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditional Essays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Yaweh Changes a Verdict\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sign of Jonah in the New Testament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJonah: Fact of Fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text.
