博林分析了约拿书中圣经和非圣经的传统和主题，并认为该书对上帝和人类之间关系的描绘，就像那些约伯和传道书一样，强调绝对的神圣主权，超越人类的仁慈、正义和宽恕的概念。上帝被理解为自由地宽恕，但他仍然惩罚，并且不受仁慈属性施加的约束。人类对上帝唯一正确的反应是对他的力量感到恐惧，并承认他是幸福和痛苦的源泉。
Bolin analyses biblical and extra-biblical traditions and motifs in the book of Jonah, and argues that the book's portrayal of the relationship between God and humanity, much like those of Job and Ecclesiastes, emphasizes an absolute divine sovereignty beyond human notions of mercy, justice, or forgiveness. God is understood as free to forgive, yet he still punishes, and is unfettered by the constraints imposed by attributes of benevolence. The only proper human response to God is fear at his power and acknowledgment of him as the source of welfare and woe.
