It is one of the first prophetic books. Amos uses surprising metaphors from his experience as a pastor and farmer. he pronounces the judgment of God over the northern kingdom of Israel because of dissipation, idolatry, and oppression against the poor. The author prophesies that God loves mercy and not only formal sacrifices. their prophecies were addressed to the northern kingdom (Israel).

Lastly, as a result of Margaret Thatcher in office, a new view of the family developed in the 1980s. The New Right is a group of intellectuals who consider the family as the foundation of all social policies. Thatcher and many Conservative politicians alleged that poor comportment by young people in schools or on the streets was resulting from a poor family background. They believed like functionalists that the perfect model of families was the nuclear family, and were particularly critical of single mothers; “the natural state should be 2 adults caring for their children” (Redwood, 1993).

Jonah the missionary is commissioned by the Lord, “to speak his Word” and preach to Nineveh, (vs. 1-2) however this missionary messenger “is a man with a mind of his own who may not only fail to arrive but try to start an entirely different story.” [1] With this in mind the Lord is troubled by Nineveh and their long history of being an enemy of Judah and Israel and the occupant’s behavior need to change. This brutal people are under the Lord’s eye and judgement. Jonah understands the trouble that exists between these two nations, and so Jonah refuses to follow the Lord’s command to preach His word. God with his splendor has a direct message directly to Nineveh because they have become known for their evil.

Jonah is one of the shortest books of the Old Testament and a book that I am quite unfamiliar with. For this reason, I chose to write this report on Jonah and compare the class textbook with global perspective commentary. I chose to look into Global Bible Commentary by Daniel Patte. When reading this, I noticed that it contrasted the Hill/Walton text in a key area but shared some commonality in most areas. I will discuss these difference and commonalities along with a short summary of what I gained and what I thought were some weaknesses of the readings.

In Genesis 3, the readers see that Eve betrays Gods wishes and takes fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and shares and eats it with Adam when they are both told specifically not to do so. Even though she is tricked by the serpent, who is Satan in disguise, God does not forgive her so easily and takes it out on both Adam and Eve. If these two had not betrayed Gods wishes, then God would have had no reason to punish them, but since they did the opposite of what God said, he found it fit to punish them. In Jonah, Jonah was told by God to go to Nineveh and cry against it. Instead of doing this, Jonah gets on a ship, pays a fare, and goes in the opposite direction of Nineveh.

In the beginning of his book, he confronted Jerusalem about judgement which happened as Josiah was reigning the kingdom of Judah ((640-609 BCE). At the end, there is a gathering and celebration of God’s ruling of a group of exiles. The Book of Zephaniah is the 9th book in

Repetition of phrases and messages is found throughout the passage. For example, the Lord calls Samuel three times; Eli and his two sons all die on the same day; and Eli is given his curse/warning two different times (once from God then again from Samuel). Also, Eli and Phineas’ wife were both more concerned with the Ark being captured than they were with Phineas and Hophni’s death, which I thought was interesting. Chapter 2 focuses on Samuel’s call from the Lord to become a priest. We eventually find out in later chapters that Samuel will be the priest who anoints Israel’s first kings: Saul and David.

INTRODUCTION The book of Jonah is categorized as a prophetic narrative but one that is different from the rest. Unlike other prophetic narratives where the emphasis is on “the prophet’s faithfulness to God’s call, and God’s approval and blessing,” we find a rebellious prophet confronting God in the book of Jonah. Nonetheless, the book has a profound message the author intends to convey to its readers which this study will uncover. Thus, the objective of this exposition paper is to understand Jonah 1 in the light of the overarching theological message of the book.

So, Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.” Observation: “Now” indicates a shift in the narrative. The writer moves the focus by describing a series of the LORD’S “appointments.” The Hebrew word for “evil” or “discomfort” is the same word used in 1:2 (evil of Nineveh) and 3:10 (of “disaster” …). This implies the LORD is more committed to Jonah’s character than his comfort.

1. Critique Jonah’s actions using specific concepts from either the Intercultural Competence text or from The Art of Crossing Cultures. Jonah’s actions seem no different than anyone else’s who encounters a culture that is different than their own. This expectation of everyone being the same and the superiority held about one’s own culture is easily seen in Jonah when he compares his life to the Ninevites. He even questions God as to why the Ninevites should receive His boundless compassion.
