Revelation of God

With due attention to historical and literary issues, the authors explore the theological contributions of two books unique among the Old Testament canon. Offering fresh perspectives for the book's message and setting, Knight depicts the Song of Songs as a book about God and his plan of redemption for the world -- a revelation of the love of God. Golka presents the Book of Jonah as a masterpiece of Hebrew narrative art, a multidimensional account which through skillful use of irony and satire demonstrates the divine privilege of mercy for all living beings.
