The Humor of Christ (Harper Jubilee Books)

Smiles in the Gospel Laughter and gaiety In the heart of God The humor of Christ inspires Christians to redraw their pictures of Christ and to add a persistent biblical detail, the note of humor. Through out the Gospels, Christ employed humor for the sake of truth and may of his teachings, when seen in this light , become brilliantly clear for the first time. Irony, satire, paradox, even laughter itself help clarify Christ's famous parables, his brief sayings, and important events in his life. In a valuable appendix 30 humorous Gospel passages are listed for further study.
