The Prodigal Prophet

The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. Its tone is also misunderstood, as many people, even those who are not religious, are familiar with Jonah: "A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale." But there is much more to the story of Jonah than most of us know.

In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor Timothy Keller uncovers the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller states that Jonah was one of the most conflicted prophets in the entire Bible. And yet, there are unequivocally clear connections between Jonah the prodigal prophet, the parable of the prodigal son, and Jesus.
