The Remarkable Journey of Jonah : A Scholarly, Conservative Study of His Amazing Record

The Old Testament account of the prophet Jonah's remarkable experience in the belly of the whale is highly debated by Bible commentators. Though many believe it is pure allegory and doubt God's ability to create a whale large enough to hold a man in its belly, Dr. Henry Morris provides well-researched biblical history as a compelling defense for the literal interpretation of the book of Jonah. Jesus the Messiah confirms the record of Jonah as absolutely real and profoundly important in the New Testament (Matthew 16:17 and Luke 11:29-32). In The Remarkable Journey of Jonah , Morris reveals Jonah as a striking type of Jesus Christ making this a very important book of the Bible to study. This verse-by-verse Bible study commentary provides compelling new viewpoints and corollaries between Jonah and Jesus. Don't miss the fascinating detail and historical accuracy with which Morris also discusses: The length of time Jonah was in the whale Jonah's prayer while in hell Nineveh's influence God's compassion Practical ways Jonah's account applies to the 21st Century Henry Morris, an acclaimed Christian apologist, presents this scholarly and yet simple to read Bible study reference for individuals and groups.
