"""The strength of Ben Zvi's approach lies in the understanding of the ‘sea of multivocality' conveyed by the book of Jonah, wherein more than one reading is possible within the discourse of its intended and primary readerships. Through a careful study and a nuanced approach, Ben Zvi called our attention to a number of important issues, including especially how the story of Jonah allowed and encouraged it's readers and re-readers to understand the book from more than one perspective and in more than one way."" - Kenneth M. Craig, Lees-McRae College, Review of Biblical Literature, July 2004 -- Kenneth M. Craig * Review of Biblical Literature *"
