Bible Project Overview
Satirical Narrative - the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize our reality
Structured like a two season show
Season 1 - Jonah, the pagans, and the sea
Season 2 - Jonah, the pagans, and the city
Each Season contains two episodes:
Episode 1: Jonah’s reaction to God’s word and God’s world
