"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

Seriously, reread it, it's hilarious. Everyone Jonah encounters is more godly than him, the sailors, the Assyrians, the FUCKING COWS put on sackloth and ashes.

Or if you're too busy to read, check out this Tom-Waits-esque dramatic musical reading of the book by one of the coolest Christian musicians I'm aware of.
