Rethinking Jonah

The Boy Prophet

About this book

Was the Hebrew Prophet Jonah a real or fictional person? If real, when did he live? Who were his contemporaries? Where did he grow up? How long did he live? What was he like? Is the biblical book truth or fiction? Can we know more about him than the 48-verse account in the biblical Book of Jonah, one verse in 2 Kings, and three short New Testament references? To what extent are contemporary assessments of him as being "the runaway prophet" accurate? And what really happened at Nineveh and in the aftermath?

RETHINKING JONAH is subdivided into four volumes that build on each other, as follows:

Volume 1: Convergence - This first volume launches into the inference-based historical reconstruction resulting in convergence on the 9th century BC timeframe. Scribes, scrolls, cliffs, caves, and skulls - Prepare to be amazed!

Volume 2: The Boy Prophet - This second volume reveals that Jonah is "hidden in plain sight" in 2 Kings and reconstructs the first part of his life from his miraculous birth in the Spring of 850 BC to his first resurrection in 849 BC to him drowning to death at sea in 826 BC.

Volume 3: Two Scrolls Not One - This third volume picks up with Jonah's second resurrection in 826 BC, reveals that Jonah was originally published as two scrolls not one, explains why Nineveh repented in 824 BC, and reconstructs Jonah's third resurrection in 799 BC.

Volume 4: Mysteries Unveiled - This fourth volume synthesizes the entire historical reconstruction including an in-depth look at the sign of Jonah and the Jonah-Israel super-sign typology that Jonah's life is a typological map of the history of Israel - past, present, and future.
