Background of Nineveh and the Ninevites: The Ninevites were Assyrians, known for their brutality and feared tactics in warfare. They worshiped Dagon, a fish god, which becomes significant when Jonah, thrown up by a great fish, arrives as a prophet in their city. This context helps explain the Ninevites' swift response to Jonah's message—they may have interpreted his arrival and message in light of their own religious beliefs and superstitions.

About this Plan
Jonah is a somewhat unique book because rather than focusing on Jonah's message, it focuses on his own story. In an age where many are deconstructing or questioning their faith because of perceiving God to be too strict, harsh, or un-loving (especially in the Old Testament), Jonah’s story stands as an example of God’s great love for humanity and redemptive purpose for the salvation of the whole world.
