📖 UGE3: JONAH 📖
Tutor: Ecclestia
To enrol in the unit, telegram Ecclestia.
The Book of Jonah is one of the best known books of the Old Testament primarily for ‘Jonah being swallowed by a whale’. Whilst this book is often oversimplified in the media and our broader culture, the book of Jonah is extremely profound and reveals important messages about how God wants us to interact with him and the world around us. Furthermore, Jesus often references the Book of Jonah such as in Matthew 12:38-42. This unit will provide insight into the depth of this small book which is packed full of awesome theology and numerous valuable lessons we can apply in our everyday life.
