Main Purpose of Book of Jonah
Why is it important to understand the purpose of a book.
It serves as a road map on how things fit together why it was structured a certain way.
This is a highly structured book.
The more structure the more focus of the purpose.

If you don’t know what city your in how can you find “main” street ?
The Book is structured to achieve something…what is that ?
The main purpose of the book is to get Northern Israel to repent !

Jonah is no quickly jotted down eyewitness account of some event in the Iron Age; it is a carefully crafted work of literature—a literary artifice.
We cannot read the Bible as if it were a piece of modern literature—that is, read it according to our own literary conventions.
the forms and genres of biblical literature aren't the same as our own.
There is overlap, to be sure, but there are also significant differences, even when there is overlap
