Jonah the Deviant Prophet

When Jonah's deepest convictions and dispositions are contrasted with Yahweh's gracious and compassionate character, the book portrays with immense power the deviant nature of Jonah's attitudes and beliefs.

--Daniel C. Timmer, A Gracious and Compassionate God: Mission, Salvation and Spirituality in the Book of Jonah (New Studies in Biblical Theology; Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 2011), 123.
