| Sumario: | Though the Gospels offer a range of interpretations of the story of Jonah, early commentators found this prophetic book challenging, including those from Antioch.

Aware of his predecessor's interpretation, and better equipped to handle the text, Theodoret comes closer to the biblical author's theological and satirical portrait of this intriguing figure for readers in Antioch. |
