Humor and the Holy in Scripture
Asking if there is humor in any religious text might seem blasphemous to many readers.
Religious texts are there to instruct us, not entertain us. Religious texts are serious works, not frivolous. However, if part of being human entails having a sense of humor, then it would be more surprising indeed for Scripture not to have humor. Humor instructs us as much as it entertains us.
