The book of the prophet Jonah – a scientific commentary on the text – Андрей Тихомиров

Jonah - the prophet, obviously, lived during the reign of the Israeli king Jeroboam (931-910 BC). Jonah preached about the strength and victories of the Israelites under King Jeroboam. In the book of the prophet Jonah, consisting of 4 chapters, the author of which may have been Jonah himself, tells how he preached in Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. There is an opinion that the Book of the Prophet Jonah arose after the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity, that is, between 400-200 BC. BC e., and is written by an unknown author.
