Resumen del Editor

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Jonah: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Designed for pastors, teachers, and Bible students, Jonah: Audio Lectures brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Kevin Youngblood traces the flow of argument in the book of Jonah, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what he says.

Each lesson surveys the main idea of a passage, its literary context, its structure and literary form, and its meaning, alongside its canonical and practical significance for us today. Jonah: Audio Lectures attempts to understand the enduring impact this story has had on culture by building on insights found in the wealth of scholarly understanding on Jonah and Hebrew literature. Listeners will see how this brief narrative has captured the imagination of generations and still has much to say in today's world.

A must have!!!

An excellent resource for all students of Scripture! It will challenge your perspective of the book in wonderful ways.

Great listen

Excellent book. It’s very insightful and brings up some points that I have never thought about before.

Delightful

The Zondervan Audio Lecture Serise has a number of great presentations.
I rarely provide a written review (to my shame) of the lectures.
However, this lecture on Jonah was too good not to provide a review.
The lecture was entertaining, informative, and provided new "hyperlinks" to other portions of Scripture.
I highly recommend this short, but robust and colorful analysis of Jonah.

Definitely worth the listen

Although for my first listen, it felt like this book started a little slow, it quickly became quite informative and interesting. Jonah is such a rich book, and these short, accessible lectures are an excellent supplement as one studies it - facilitating contemplation of the multiple layers of meaning.
