Summary

There are many kinds of laughter. Some forms can be used to deride and ridicule, other forms can be used to lift up and encourage. What does this have to do with the Bible? Plenty, according to Earl Palmer, who suggests in this unique book that Jesus Christ is the greatest humorist of all time.
