En 2000, dans son ouvrage « Va à Ninive ! », Jean-Marie Mérigoux présentait la vie des chrétiens en Irak ainsi que sa propre expérience dans ce pays, à Mossoul notamment où les dominicains sont présents depuis plus de 250 ans. « Vers d'autres Ninive » rassemble les lettres envoyées par l'auteur à ses parents et à ses amis depuis les différents pays où il a habité ou séjourné : l'Égypte, la Palestine, Israël, la Jordanie, le Liban, la Turquie et divers pays d'Europe. Récits de rencontres, anecdotes et témoignages pris sur le vif, ces pages évoquent pour une grande part le quotidien joyeux et éprouvant du monde musulman et des Églises orientales catholiques et orthodoxes qui s'y trouvent. Elles nous rappellent que chrétiens et musulmans vivent ensemble, souvent difficilement, dans ces régions depuis des siècles. Le Caire, Istanbul et Marseille, ces trois villes ressemblent un peu à la Ninive biblique et irakienne où il convient, aujourd'hui comme dans le passé, d'annoncer l'universelle miséricorde de Dieu.

In 2000, in his book Va à Ninive !, Jean-Marie Mérigoux described the lives of Iraqi Christians as well as his own experiences in Iraq, and in Mosul in particular, where there has been a Dominican presence for the past 250 years. Vers d'autres Ninive is a collection of letters written by the author to his parents and friends from the different places where he has lived or stayed: Egypt, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and various other European countries. In these pages, the author tells of people he has met, recounts anecdotes and testimonies, for the most part evoking the joyful and demanding aspects of everyday life in the Muslim world and that of the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches established there. These letters serve to remind us that Christians and Muslims have lived side by side in these regions for centuries, often with difficulty. Cairo, Istanbul and Marseilles, these three cities recall the Biblical and Iraqi Nineveh, where it is appropriate today, as in the past, to announce God's universal mercy.
