Episode 20
In this episode Samuel French and I explore the story of Jonah. We chew on the possibility of it being a parable designed to reveal a deeper wisdom about ourselves, our relationship to each other and God. This is my favorite book in the Old Testament with the most radical and progressive message concerning the universality of God's love and grace. I highly recommend reading "Jonah for Normal People" by Jared Byas if you're interested in exploring this innovative piece of ancient literature further.
