Jonah Bible Study

We cannot escape from God. God will use us, even if we resist Him. His love is available to everyone, not just those who seem deserving.

Jonah attempted to flee, but God still chose to use him. And even in his disobedience, God provided for him. When we see things from Jonah’s perspective, we may realize that we sometimes judge others unfairly and fail to see them through God’s eyes. God’s love is meant for all people!

Our study guide consists of five levels of study, which will help you gain a deeper understanding of Jonah, its historical context, and how you can apply its teachings to your life. The guide also includes hyperlinks that will assist you in gaining a better understanding of the book’s meaning and history.

This study guide is not only designed for those who are seeking a deeper understanding of Jonah but is also perfect for high school homeschoolers who want to supplement a Bible credit. (Our discussion questions can be used as essay questions for homeschoolers.)

Study Questions – These questions aim to help you remember what you have read, evaluate your understanding, and encourage you to consider how it is applicable to the time period in which it was written.

Digging Deeper – In this section, you will concentrate on a few specific verses. You will look up the verses in another translation and then reflect on how they connect you to God and relate to the present day. You will be asked to write the verses because physically writing them down helps you remember them better and focus on what they are saying. 

Further Reading – In this section, you will be directed to pertinent verses found in other chapters of the Bible or online articles related to the chapter.

Discussion Questions – These questions can be used as discussion points in a group/family study or as points to ponder or journal. They can also be used as optional essay topics for students using this study as a supplement for a Bible credit (grading rubric included).

SOAP – Choose a verse from the chapter or use the verse in Digging Deeper and use the SOAP method of Bible study to read and apply God’s word to your life.
