SUMMARY:Jona einmal anders? Ein biblisches Narrativ und seine interrel
 igiöse antike Rezeption
UID:2bf9-f904-6c91-5205@www.bafid.fau.eu
DESCRIPTION:As part of the festival &#8220\;Fürth Celebrates Diversit
 y&#8221\; (April 26 – May 11)\, PD Dr. Christian Lange\, Deputy Dire
 ctor of the Bavarian Research Center for Interreligious Discourses (Ba
 FID)\, will give a lecture on the prophet Jonah\, who spent three days
  in the belly of a whale. In the German-speaking world\, Jonah is prim
 arily known as &#8220\;the man with the fish&#8221\; or &#8220\;the ma
 n with the whale\,&#8221\; who was swallowed by a great fish and remai
 ned inside it for three days—just as Jesus spent three days in Sheol
 \, the realm of the dead. However\, there is another significant inter
 pretation: Jonah as the prophet to the nations. A Hebrew himself\, Jon
 ah initially resists God&#8217\;s command to go to the non-Hebrew city
  of Nineveh to proclaim its impending destruction. Yet\, the people of
  Nineveh accept the Hebrew prophet’s call to repentance and are thus
  spared by God. This second interpretation of Jonah led to a fascinati
 ng discourse in Late Antiquity between Jewish and Christian writings\,
  as well as the Quran. This lecture aims to explore selected aspects o
 f the late antique interpretations of the biblical Jonah narrative.
