About This Book
A prophetic figure named Jonah departs his desert community and journeys through villages and sacred centers, delivering divinely inspired messages while experiencing visions and angelic visitations. His travels bring him into tense exchanges with priests and rulers over forms of worship and the proper interpretation of God’s will, and his encounters with animals and mystical beings blur the border between the natural and the numinous. The narrative alternates episodes of travel, prophecy, and domestic scenes to explore themes of faith, ritual, authority, doubt, and the human need to imagine the divine.
