The prophet Jonah's book is merely two pages long, and his prophecy is confined to a single statement. Yet, for ages, huge waves of controversy and mystery have swirled about this small book, as if it were around Jonah's own troubled ship.
In A Journey with Jonah: The Spirituality of Bewilderment, the Irish Dominican scholar Fr. Paul Murray strives to uncover the great lesson of this story of bewilderment. Featuring a 2003 lectio divina on Jonah by then-Cardinal Ratzinger—published here in English for the first time—A Journey with Jonah, like the book of Jonah itself, is a brief but compelling journey into the heart of the spiritual life.
