Erotic Spirituality and the Book of Jonah

“There is no biblical book that has been so maligned and so poorly understood and so viciously used as the Book of Jonah,” says T. Anthony Perry, a literary scholar who has taught at the University of Connecticut and at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The author of The Honeymoon Is Over: Jonah’s Argument with God (Hendrickson Publishers, 2006) presents an analysis of the Bible story, which he characterizes as “a psychological drama between God and Jonah.”
