Jonah
In the book of Jonah, two problems keep the prophet from fully enjoying and freely sharing divine mercy. The first is Jonah's inability to reconcile YHWH's concern for nations hostile to Israel with his election of Israel. The second is Jonah's inability to reconcile YHWH's justice with his mercy. The narrative conclusion reveals an even deeper problem: a distorted understanding of both divine election and divine justice that precludes Jonah's joyful participation in YHWH's mercy. (Publisher)
