Funny Things Can Happen on Your Way through the Bible, Volume 1

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As one who undertook a study of biblical humor a half-century ago at Yale, I am immensely gratified to read the delightful work of my colleague Charles Barrett found here. Seeking to enhance the theological message of Scripture by focusing on the dimension of humor, he has recast many of its stories in rhyme, clarifying their theological implications and touching base with the greatest Christian theologians. In this he goes far beyond earlier treatments of the topic by such writers as Elton Trueblood, Webb Garrison, and Jacob Klausner. Barrett's book is unique. It will be a boon to all who preach, teach, and write in the light of Scripture.”
