At Long Last: The Good News according to Mark

My primary aim in this book was to put before the reader a presentation of different levels of translation for this sacred text. In so doing, I hoped to allow the reader to see the fundamental strangeness of the text and its familiarity at the same time, and come to see just what it is that I have come to love about Mark's gospel.

Jonah

The word of Yhwh came to Jonah, son of Amittai, saying: "Get up! Go to Nineveh the Great City and cry to her that their evil has come up before my face." So Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish, away from the face of Yhwh and he went down to Yafo and found a ship going to Tarshish and gave payment and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the face of Yhwh.
