Jonah: Much More Than a Whale's Tale

Widely regarded as a children's story or a "whale's tale," Jonah is a text many of us ought to look at with fresh eyes. It is the living word of God. It’s also ridiculed by scholars because they cannot abide a man being swallowed by a large fish and survive. They have worked overtime to dismiss and re-interpret or allegorize the account entirely. G. Campbell Morgan: Men have been looking so hard at the great fish that they have failed to see the great God. This is a good reminder for how we want to read the Scripture: As God’s living word.  Nineveh was a famous literal city. God sent His prophet Jonah to warn of impending doom; Jonah tries to escape his duty and the story unfolds.  Today, Michael teaches an overview of the book of Jonah.
