Reviews
Useful for students and scholars as a unique reading of Jonah and an introductory exemplar of social-science readings of the Hebrew Bible. - Religious Studies Review An excellent introduction to Biblical stories. Jonah's World deserves a place of honour on every reading list for courses on the book of Jonah. It poses the right questions and supplies lots of information to guide readers towards the ancient world. - Journal of Hebrew Scriptures Deserves attention for the light it throws on the social world that produced the ever-fascinating story of Jonah. - Review of Biblical Literature Whether or not one agrees with his conclusions this study is a very good read and H. ends by suggesting that it will prompt anyone familiar with the book of Jonah to read it differently next time. I believe he is right. - JSOT
