Daniel Vorpahl examines the early Jewish and rabbinic receptions of the biblical prophet Jonah for their narrative-dynamic negotiation processes. Following a specially developed methodology, Jonas' receptions are contextualized in terms of discourse analysis and analyzed in a comparative manner along uniform analysis categories. The result is a detailed image section of an intra-Jewish reception discourse.
