"With a sharp eye to the intricate literary workings and multifaceted theological meanings of the book of Jonah, Estelle achieves a fine balance between textual exposition and contemporary application. Careful to avoid allegorization and resistant to the claim that finding Christ in the book constitutes a Christian ‘colonization’ of the Old Testament, Estelle offers a well-reasoned and circumspect Christological reading of Jonah."
