God of the Poor

What other God in history has so associated himself with the poor and lowly? From his birth in a stable with a feeding trough for a bed (Luke 2), to his proclamation that if you have cared for a person who lacks food you have cared for him (Matthew 25). No other God who is held out as being so great has ever associated themselves so strongly with those who are so lowly.

All of these things make King Solomon a mythical figure in our imaginations.

Jonah Chapter 3

Chapter 3 is a sort of re-telling of chapter 1. Both begin in the exact same way and progress with a number of similar themes and patters.

Jonah Chapter 2

Jonah chapter two quotes heavily from the Psalms, and in doing so it subversively instructs its reader how to turn back to and cry out to God, while also reminding the reader of the faithfulness of God to those who seek him.
