The Bible is full of miraculous events that take faith to understand
them as truth. Although many stories included in the New Testament are
Parables told by Jesus, the Old Testament is considered not to hold
these stories. The controversial events in the Old Testament are
believed truth of the ancient separation from God and justice as system
of “an eye for an eye”. However, the story of Jonah has been contested
as anything but factual history. It would seem the other
atrocious acts of murder and sex are more believable than remaining in
the belly of a whale for three days. The story of Jonah could
be a historical allegory including factual events in a narration while
using descriptive words that relate to other events as well.
