The story of Jonah has great theological import. It concerns a disobedient prophet who rejected his divine commission, was cast overboard in a storm and swallowed by a great fish, rescued in a marvelous manner, and returned to his starting point. Now he obeys and goes to Nineveh, the capital of Israel’s ancient enemy. The Ninevites listen to his message of doom and repent immediately. All, from king to lowliest subject, humble themselves in sackcloth and ashes. Seeing their repentance, God does not carry out the punishment planned for them. At this, Jonah complains, angry because the Lord spares them. This fascinating story caricatures a narrow mentality which would see God’s interest extending only to Israel, whereas God is presented as concerned with and merciful to even the inhabitants of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian empire which brought the Northern Kingdom of Israel to an end and devastated Jerusalem in 701 B.C. The Lord is free to “repent” and change his mind. Jonah seems to realize this possibility and wants no part in it. But the story also conveys something of the ineluctable character of the prophetic calling. The book is replete with irony, wherein much of its humor lies. The name “Jonah” means “dove” in Hebrew, but Jonah’s character is anything but dove-like. Jonah is commanded to go east to Nineveh but flees toward the westernmost possible point, only to be swallowed by a great fish and dumped back at this starting point. The sailors pray to their gods, but Jonah is asleep in the hold. The prophet’s preaching is a minimum message of destruction, while it is the king of Nineveh who calls for repentance and conversion; the instant conversion of the Ninevites is greeted by Jonah with anger and sulking. He reproaches the Lord in words that echo Israel’s traditional praise of his mercy. Jonah is concerned about the loss of the gourd but not about the possible destruction of 120,000 Ninevites. This book is the story of a disobedient, narrow-minded prophet who is angry at the outcome of the sole message he delivers. It is difficult to date but almost certainly is postexilic and may reflect the somewhat narrow, nationalistic reforms of Ezra and Nehemiah. As to genre, it has been classified in various ways, such as parable or satire. The “sign” of Jonah is interpreted in two ways in the New Testament: His experience of three days and nights in the fish is a “type” of the experience of the Son of Man (Mt 12:39–40), and the Ninevites’ reaction to the preaching of Jonah is contrasted with the failure of Jesus’ generation to obey the preaching of one who is “greater than Jonah”

Semua berawal dari kepergian seorang gadis manja bernama Miku ke sebuah pulau di wilayah utara yang masih asri dan sejuk, bernama Pulau Elang. Awalnya, Miku datang dengan niat sederhana: bekerja dan mengumpulkan uang demi kepentingan pribadinya. Namun, rencana itu perlahan berubah ketika ia bertemu dengan Mark, seorang pria pribumi Pulau Elang yang tanpa disadari berhasil mengubah cara pandang Miku terhadap dunia dan kehidupan di sekitarnya. Hubungan mereka tumbuh cepat. Hanya dalam waktu tiga hari, ketertarikan berubah menjadi rasa sayang. Meski demikian, cinta yang mereka jalani harus disembunyikan—tak seorang pun boleh mengetahui hubungan mereka. Hubungan yang tersembunyi itu justru menumbuhkan banyak salah paham, terutama ketika Miku terlihat dekat dengan Rio, pria yang berasal dari suku yang sama dengan Mark, namun memiliki karakter yang sangat bertolak belakang. Kesalahpahaman demi kesalahpahaman perlahan meretakkan hubungan mereka, hingga rasa percaya Mark terhadap Miku nyaris hilang. Namun, Miku bukanlah sosok yang mudah menyerah. Ia berjuang mengembalikan kepercayaan Mark, meski setelahnya pertengkaran dan perbedaan justru semakin sering terjadi. Anehnya, di balik konflik tersebut, rasa sayang di antara mereka tumbuh semakin dalam—terutama saat mereka hanya berdua. Tanpa disadari, mereka kerap melupakan sebuah tembok besar yang berdiri di hadapan hubungan mereka: perbedaan keyakinan. Miku berdoa dengan tangan terangkat, sementara Mark berdoa dengan tangan tergenggam. Perbedaan yang sederhana, namun terasa sangat berat. Perjalanan cinta mereka belum usai ketika keadaan dan waktu memaksa mereka berpisah, terutama saat Miku harus kembali ke kampung halamannya. Namun, takdir kembali mempertemukan mereka. Dengan penuh rasa syukur, Miku menyadari bahwa skenario yang Tuhan tuliskan untuk hidupnya adalah tentang cinta yang tumbuh di tengah perbedaan. Mereka belajar untuk bersama meski cara berdoa tak sama, karena yang mereka yakini adalah bahwa setiap agama mengajarkan kebaikan, bukan keburukan.
