Jonah 4
Jonah chapter 4 shouldn’t exist. It doesn’t fit the structure of good stories. It happens after the story resolves. Why is it included? The ultimate purpose of the book of Jonah is revealed in chapter 4. It has important lessons to teach us about pride and selfishness, and how pride and selfishness produce bigotry and prejudice.
