Another book on Jonah - 13 March 2009 |
|
Leslie C. Allen, The Books of Joel, Obadiah, Jonah and Micah (NICOT). Another solid evangelical commentary, less technical and easier to read than Stuart. Pretty short, but with some thought-provoking moments, like this one:
A Jonah lurks in every Christian heart, whimpering his insidious message of smug prejudice, empty traditionalism, and exclusive solidarity. He that has ears to hear, let him hear and allow the saving love of God which has been outpoured in his own heart to remold his thinking and social orientation. (p. 235)
