The story of Jonah tells the tale of a prophet locked in a controversy with Yahweh, the God of Israel. The heart of the controversy is Yahweh's love. Jonah find's God's love to be scandalous not because he has received it but because Yahweh carelessly pours it out upon the enemy not only of Israel but God's own self. Jonah is in full rebellion against love.
