Versions of Jonah Edited and Translated by Anthony Opal

One of world literature’s great satires, the Book of Jonah tells the ancient and subversive story of an anti-prophet who remains unwilling to widen his worldview and stays entrenched in self-pity to the end. Versions of Jonah contains the earliest iterations of the Jonah story in Arabic, Ethiopic, Greek, Hebrew, and Syriac - as well as a new English translation based on the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.
