In the nearly 43 years since my baptism, I have never really experienced a crisis of faith. But I’ll admit that aggravating little questions have lurked in the corners of my mind.For instance, I accept that God could create a great fish to swallow Jonah and release him alive three days later; but - realizing how difficult it is to get everyone to agree to ANYTHING - I always wondered how this lone Israelite prophet could then convince the entire Assyrian city of Nineveh to repent and stave off God’s judgment.Then I read the book “The Authenticity of the Book of Jonah,” by Bill Cooper. Information gleaned from history and archaeology made the reason for Jonah’s phenomenal success blindingly obvious.
