| Title: | Jonah under a Bush outside Nineveh |
|---|
| Notes: | Quatrefoil on the western exterior, depicting Jonah sitting in the shade of a bush outside the city of Nineveh, waiting for its destruction. "The story [of Jonah] ends with a scathing comment. Having protected Jonah from the heat of the sun, in the desert, with a bush, God then destroys the bush, leaving Jonah in the heat of the sun. When Jonah complains, God criticizes him for being more concerned with his own comfort than with the inhabitants of the huge city of Nineveh. Jonah is an excellent example of someone who really does not take his relationship with God that seriously , but despite this is very effective in doing what God wants him to do." (Leaman, 146) |
