Hearing the Message of Scripture: A Fantastic (the Best?) Commentary on Jonah

When I preached through Jonah last Advent, I knew the JPS Commentary on Jonah would be helpful. What I wasn’t expecting was how often I would eagerly turn to Kevin J. Youngblood’s new Jonah volume in the recently begun Hearing the Message of Scripture commentary series. It might be the best commentary (in this reviewer’s humble opinion) written on Jonah.

    What experience do you yourself have with this commentary?

    None - that's why I just posted the review.  What caused me to do that though, is I do like the JPS:Jonah Commentary. and when the reviewer started out there, it caught my eye. The author has been involved with some interesting projects so I jumped into the prepub today.

    Ok, that makes sense. I just wanted to see if you had anything to add to that review. (Does anyone else who is reading this?)
