Description: The style of the book of Jonah is distinctive among the prophetic books. Aside from portions of the books of Jeremiah and Daniel, all of the other prophetic books focus primarily on the message of the prophet. The book of Jonah, on the other hand, is a biographical prose narrative focusing almost exclusively on the prophet himself. The predominantly narrative style of the book has more in common with the historical narratives about Elijah and Elisha than it does with the other prophetic books. The distinctive style of the book of Jonah has raised questions concerning its genre. Many recent scholars have questioned whether the book was intended to be understood as a factual historical narrative. Other scholars, however, have observed that the reasons given for rejecting the historicity of Jonah are generally based on unproven naturalistic assumptions. These same scholars have made a strong case for the historicity of the book. There are a number of helpful commentaries on Jonah, and this may be one of the best.
