The book of Jonah is Narrative History and a Prophetic Oracle. The prophet
Jonah wrote it approximately 785-760 B.C. before Assyria conquered Israel’s
Northern Kingdom. Key personalities include Jonah, the captain and the ship’s
crew and the people of Nineveh. The purpose of this book is to show that God
is a merciful and gracious God. Although the wicked city of Nineveh deserved
to be crushed immediately, God was patient towards them. A reluctant prophet,
Jonah originally ran from God before delivering a message of repentance to the
nation of Nineveh.
