 '''Story.''' Jonah relates four episodes, each in its own separate chapter:
-* '''[[Jonah 1 | Jonah 1]]: Jonah flees from the Lord.''' Jonah cannot escape the Lord's justice and suffers symbolic death. Jonah disobeys the command to preach to Ninevah and instead flees toward Tarshish. A mighty storm arises, lots are cast, and Jonah explains that he is trying to escape the Lord's command to preach. The mariners cast Jonah overboard, and the storm ceases.

 '''Message.''' Themes, symbols, and doctrinal points emphasized in Jonah include:
-* Jonah is about justice and mercy, with a symbolic foreshadowing of Christ’s death and resurrection. In the first pair of episodes Jonah refuses to warn the people of Ninevah that they must repent. He then learns that disobedience leads to a death from which he can be delivered only by the Lord. In the second pair of episodes he does finally preach to Ninevah, but he is angry when the city qualifies through repentance for the same mercy that he had previously received. He is then taught of the Lord’s concern and mercy for all people, even non-Israelites.
