Jonah

Cornelius à Lapide SJ · Biblical Commentary

À Lapide's Jonah commentary expounds the prophet's flight, the great storm, and the three days in the whale's belly as the most celebrated Old Testament type of Christ's death and Resurrection — cited by Our Lord Himself (Mt. 12:40). The Ninevite repentance is treated as a figure of the Gentiles' conversion through the preaching of the Apostles.
