In The Two Prophets to Nineveh, James McCarthy guides readers on an exegetical tour through the prophetical books of Jonah and Nahum. When studied together, Jonah and Nahum offer a panoramic view of the whole character of God.
The oceanic breadth of God’s mercy poured out in Jonah stands in stark contrast to the volcanic heat of his wrath erupting from Nahum. We feel the soft petals of God’s grace in Jonah but the glistening razor’s edge of his law in Nahum. We cheer the salvation of a city in Jonah only to shudder at the annihilation of the same city a century later in Nahum. The Two Prophets to Nineveh will help students of the Bible springboard from the familiar Jonah into the less familiar Nahum, seeing how both shine a heavenly spotlight upon the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Rob Luff –
Absolutely excellent treatment of the minor prophets Jonah and Nahum. McCarthy rightly connects the two books together because they are both written about the city of Nineveh — the former concerning God’s mercy towards them, and the latter concerning His justice upon them for their repeated violence and cruelty, and for throwing off His mercy. Together, the two short Old Testament books paint a holistic picture of God’s character.
McCarthy’s exposition is accessible and easy to read, with helpful illustrations that aid with understanding.
This is a great book for someone looking for a primer on the book of Nahum (or Jonah), but also helpful for pastors preparing to preach our teach from them.
