As we begin our study of the book of Jonah this Sunday (2/2/20), here are some resources for you to consider as you study the book personally:

 

1. A helpful overview video of the book – by the creative folks at the Bible Project.
   • https://thebibleproject.com/explore/jonah/
2. A free commentary online – by Prof. Tom Constable
   • https://www.planobiblechapel.org/tcon/notes/html/ot/jonah/jonah.htm
3. Background info.
   • https://www.biblicaltraining.org/library/book-jonah
4. Wonderful teaching on the book in the form of a book! – Tim Keller is so insightful in his book “The Prodigal Prophet”.  Highly recommended by Carson Cobb. You can buy it from Amazon:
   • https://www.amazon.com/Prodigal-Prophet-Jonah-Mystery-Mercy/dp/0735222061/ref=asc_df_0735222061_nodl/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312143170987&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9585698680667910039&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009718&hvtargid=pla-536222951976&psc=1
5. Legit Commentary – I am working with Bryan Estelle’s commentary, “Salvation through Judgment and Mercy” and am finding it very insightful.  Amazon has it:
   • https://www.amazon.com/Salvation-Through-Judgment-Mercy-According/dp/087552656X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1G2LRYPD7UZ1D&keywords=salvation+through+judgment+and+mercy+the+gospel+according+to+jonah&qid=1580336752&s=books&sprefix=Salvation+through+judg%2Cstripbooks%2C274&sr=1-1
6. Our own Prof. Ronjour Locke recommends the commentary by Redmond in the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary set as well.
   • https://www.amazon.com/Exalting-Habakkuk-Christ-Centered-Exposition-Commentary/dp/080549653X/ref=nodl_
7. And here is a Small Group Guide – Summit View church worked hard on this piece.  You may find it useful for your small group:
