JONAH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF JONAH: EMBODIED THEOLOGY ILLUSTRATED
The body occupies a central position in the argumentation of the book of Jonah. Not only is the prophet Jonah depicted as being involved in different life-situations, but his bodily and personal conduct also illustrate an unwillingness to change his theological thinking. Religious, political, social and cultural aspects of larger bodies are enacted through Jonah's bodily performance. Jonah could not have acted differently.
