Jonah : Fact or Fiction ?

by Martin R. Dehaan

JONAH FACT OF FICTION? is a series of messages that were originally prepared for radio broadcasting. The transcripts were reproduced in this volume with a minimum of editing and presented almost word for word as they were originally broadcast. The central theme of Jonah is the Gospel of the Death and Resurrection of Christ, and this theme is reiterated frequently. While the Book of Jonah has a diversity of applications to the sinner, the backslider, and the nation of Israel, it has only one primary interpretation. This message is the message of the Gospel.

This book did a great job looking at the first few chapters of Jonah and seeing how Jonah is a Christ figure. It did not spend much time or effort in my opinion on Chapters 3-4.

[Christine Greene · Rating 5 out of 5]

The style of old fashioned writing in this book did not take away at all from the truths in its content. It was astounding new information to me and quite changed my religious view.

This book made sense of what I had wondered about; but modern christian thought does not generically promote this truth.

This book is an apologetic of sorts. In going back to the original text language of the Bible it demonstrates that Jonah did die in a fish & is the first recorded resurrection in the Bible.

I've lent the book to teenagers and adults; everyones response has been 'WOW!'

I appreciated the scholarship of this author, and the willingness to consider all aspects of the OT Biblical account.
