Résumé : | In this refreshing and thoughtful interpretation of the biblical book of Jonah, T. A. Perry seeks to recover the book’s prophetic thrust: how Jonah is cast out from the divine Presence and works his way back —like Elijah— in a love story of rejection and reconciliation. The Honeymoon Is Oner explores the role reversal of Eternity and Jonah and suggests the possibility that God can not only change his mind, but even be educated. |
