When Sarah overhears God tell Abraham that she will give birth toa son, she laughs. Of course, Sarah does give birth to a son andnames him Isaac, whose name means 'to laugh.' But can we in moderntimes recover the divine humor, the paradox and promise, in this andother biblical accounts? Can we use that sacred laughter as a means toevangelize a world that longs for God every bit as much as the ancientsdid? In Laughing with God: Humor, Culture, and Transformation, Catholicpriest and cultural anthropologist Gerald Arbuckle helps us do just that.With Arbuckle, readers will enter many rich biblical stories and comeaway laughing, not laughter as in response to a joke or comedy, but a'profound laughter of the heart.' Readers will discover divine humor inthe parables of Jesus and even in his suffering and death, the ultimateparadox for Christians. In addition to uncovering and recovering humorin Scripture, Arbuckle’s work is a treasure trove of modern examples ofhumor-from literature, movies, and television-that surprisingly can bea means of transforming cultures to better refl ect the kingdom of God. 3
