| Résumé : |
The book of Jonah remains an engaging part of the religions lives of Jews and Christians. On the human level, the dramatic story speaks to us of the possibility of second chances in our lives. On the spiritual level, it describes the paths an individual and a people can take leading them back to God.
Medieval Jewish commentaries unfold new perspectives of meaning beyond the surface of the biblical text. In explaining the verses of the book of Jonah, the commentators explore many core topics, including human nature, our relationship with God, the interaction of Jews and Gentiles, and the meaning of our lives. This book offers a translation of the full text of these commentaries into English and an explanation of their comments that makes them accessible to the contemporary Western reader. Until now one needed a high level of Hebrew to explore these works. Go to Nineveh opens this world to the modern English reader. It also includes the author’s own modem commentary considering questions not raised by earlier commentators. |
