The best for preaching on Jonah

This 1981 book has been out of print for some time, but if you can get your hands on a copy, it is priceless. I preached through Jonah in 2001 and this was the single most useful commentary. It contains 11 very homiletical sounding chapters -- more than enough to chew on. (I think my sermon series was four messages). Ferguson is a Scottish theologian, with a Ph.D. in systematics from Aberdeen. A former professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, he is a first-rate thinker. But he has also been a full-time pastor in Scotland for many years. He is currently at Tron Church (very large, in Glasgow). Smart, accessible, well-illustrated, practically geared, theologically rich (and Reformed) -- GREAT work. Probably the second most helpful for me was the tiny commentary but another pastor-scholar, O. Palmer Robertson. Third most helpful was James Boice (dry, but solid).
