Questions this book answers:

Why do most Jewish Biblical scholars find so many humorous passages in the Old Testament while most Christians read the same passages hyper-seriously?

In Jesus time, when worshipers gathered in the synagogues, why did they laugh so much?

How can so many well-recognized Biblical scholars point to numerous jokes Jesus told, while other equally qualified authorities claim he never joked?

Did Jesus really weep as indicated in John 11:35?
Does the original text suggest something quite different - and maybe comic?

Why do most English translations mis-represent
as serious content what in the original Greek
texts are so obviously humorous?

And a question for you:
Can you read the Bible and
smile at the same time?

Are you a Christian?
Do you smile?
Then I think you might enjoy this book.
In addition to providing some Biblical fun,
this book also challenges the traditional understanding of dozens of Bible passages.

This book explores the humorous
aspects of eighty seven Bible passages.
It is designed for individual reading enjoyment as well as for group discussion. Included are stimulating questions for life application.

From the childish bumbling of Adam and Eve
to the self-effacing humor of the apostle Paul,
this book exposes the Bible’s hidden humor.
