Summary of Jonah 4

Key takeaway

How Jonah 4 fits the whole book
A reluctant prophet learns that God's compassion is wider than his prejudice. Chapter 4 of Jonah contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
