Questions this book answers: Why do most Jewish Bible scholars find so many humorous passages in the Old Testament while most Christians read them 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 authorities claim he never joked? Did Jesus really weep as indicated in John 11:35? The original text suggests something quite different, perhaps even comic. 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 will enjoy this book. It provides some Biblical fun as well as challenging the traditional understanding of dozens of passages. It is designed for both individual reading and group discussion. Included are stimulating questions for life application.
