Abstract
For my project, I wrote a chapter for Dr. Walker’s book on humor and the Bible entitled, Man Thinks, God Laughs. The purpose of the book is to teach readers to see the text of the Bible through a helpful (albeit atypical) lens: that of humor. While reading the Bible with a purey straight-faced approach, we can often miss beautiful and inspiring moral lessons that simply were not visible without the reader’s awareness of the comedy contained therein.
