The book is basically two parts. Keller reviews the Jonah text, in light of the surrounding biblical data. This first part offers essentially three parts to the Jonah story: Jonah and God's Word, Jonah in God's world, and Jonah and God's grace. The book hinges at the conclusion of his review of the book of Jonah through these three layers.Keller, then, moves to evaluate three types of relationship we, along with Jonah, experience because of God's continual mercy despite our desire to run the other way. In this way, we parallel Jonah. They are our relationship to God's: Word, world, and grace.Quickly, the book is edifying, and a pleasure to read. Understanding Jonah through Keller's perceptive, gospel-centered approach is what I enjoyed most.
Book Review: The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's MercyAuthor: Timothy KellerFormat: SoftbackTopic: The Book of JonahScope: A biblical exposition of the book of Jonah for application contemporary life.Purpose: To encourage Christians to understand grace more fully and apply it more deeply to their lives.Structure: This book contains an introduction, 12 chapters, and an epilogue. Although the book is not explicitly broken up this way, I'd argue the chapters make up two different sections. The first 9 chapters dive deep into the book of Jonah and make a lot of theological and statements. Every verse of the short book if covered at least a little. Chapters 10-12 switch gears by taking some of the major themes and applying them in deep and impactful ways to contemporary society (specifically Western Americanized Christian).What it does well: *Keller is a translator. He takes deep and often complicated subjects from the Bible or more scholarly authors and translates them for more popular audiences. He is a master of reaching the heart and head of his reader.*Any reader that has not truly immersed herself in the biblical book of Jonah will come away with a much deeper knowledge of the book. Keller covers the entire book in ways that will make many people go, "Oh."*The last three chapters are worth the price of the book, IMO (although I enjoyed the rest of the book as well.) Keller's scalpel on some of the idols of the current Western church (both liberal and conservative) is exacting and incisive. There were quite a few times when I would catch myself thinking, "Yeah, that's just like [insert person or church here]" only to realize in just a couple sentences that he has described me as well.*Keller knows the human heart. He is very helpful at describing how we rebel against God and the antidote.*Although there is much more done well, my favorite part of this book (as is my favorite part of Keller as an author) is how well it describes grace and what Jesus has done for us. This book, although about Jonah, is really about Jesus and his work to see us come to him.What it lacks: *This is not a commentary. It is not meant to be. This is not a criticism, but instead informative.*One thing I was a little disappointed about was the lack of mention of abortion in a section entitled "Christians and Politics" (163-170). As I mentioned above, Keller attacks many sacred cows of both liberals and conservatives (we are not only to be for the poor but also to contend that sex is only for marriage). His biggest attack is to say that Christians cannot abstain from politics, nor can they buy wholesale into any particular party's platform. He says we must contend for those who are most vulnerable and alludes to many disenfranchised groups. This would have been a particularly good time to mention abortion which attacks our most vulnerable. He seems to mention some other important things but shies away here. To be fair to him, it seems as though many of the points he makes will logically lead to the belief that we should contend against abortion when followed to the end. So, as much as I was a little disappointed, the implications of these points will be clear to those who listen.Some quick highlights: "Jonah concluded that because he could not see any good reasons for God's command, there could be any. Jonah doubted the goodness, wisdom, and justice of God."-15"God shows him here that he is the God of all people and Jonah needs to see himself as being part of the whole human community, not only a member of a faith community."-37"To deny God's wrath upon sin not only robs us of a full view of God's holiness and justice but also can diminish our wonder, love, and praise at what it was that Jesus bore for us."-65"To work against social injustice and to call people to repentance before God interlock theologically."-94"Then God says, in essence, "You weep over plants, but my compassion is for people."-118"Sin always begins with the character assassination of God."-138"We sneer at people more liberal than us as social justice warriors; we disdain those more conservative than us as hateful bigots."-171"Religious people often invite nonbelievers to convert by calling them to adopt new sets of behaviors and new ritual practices, and the while redoubling their efforts to live a virtuous life. That, however, is to load more burdens on people.... While the gospel must lead to a changed life, is is not those changes that save you."-207Recommendation: This is a good book. It is easy and accessible. I recommend it for anyone who wants to go deeper into the book of Jonah or anyone who may be teaching this little book. I would also highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking to understand some of the nuances of Christianity. I found my heart moved multiple times.
The book of Jonah is more than a fish story. It contains practical wisdom, theological profundity, and startling insight into the human condition. With great economy of words, Jonah conveys powerful truths about God, human beings, and the spiritual life. In this book Keller does well to focus on Jonah's foremost theme: the depth and breadth of God's immeasurable grace.As with Keller's other works, I found myself enlightened and inspired, convicted and challenged. This is an accessible, masterful study of the Scriptures that not only reveals insight into the book of Jonah, but points us to Jesus Christ while instructing us in his way. This book will teach you more about Jonah, more about yourself, and, most importantly, more about God.
I didn't know much about the prophet Jonah except that he was swallowed up by a whale. I didn't even know there was a book called "Jonah" in the Bible! Reading Prodigal Prophet helped me to really understand Jonah's story as Tim Keller delves deep and refers back to the original Hebrew text to help the readers understand the often overlooked messages in the book of Jonah. There is so much depth and meaning to this book that it left me almost speechless. It is convicting, encouraging, and compelling all at the same time. It is helpful to read this book with a Bible nearby for cross references and for looking up the maps, etc. Prodigal Prophet reveals God in a clear light as to who he is and it also reveals who Christians need to be in this world. Tim Keller is not shy about calling out Christians who are Christians only by name, but not by deeds and the way they live out their lives. This book is definitely worth a read and ponder.
