The great city of Nineveh is up to no good, Jonah is called to speak words of repentance to them, he runs away, gets cast into the sea, is swallowed by a fish and thrown up again, goes back and does what God asked him to do in the first place, and the people repent and their hedonistic dancing of sin is transformed into dancing of praise. Bewilderment looks anew at the book of Jonah for our generation, and very good it is, too. Coming out of a series of quiet-day reflections, the book reflects on the doubts, anxieties, confusions, and turbulence of Jonah’s and our times, and invites the reader not to evade but, rather, to embrace them with watchfulness and trust.
