Introduction

This book contains limericks galore, packed with puns, but also much more: academic lights and helpful insights may be seen as o'er pages you pore.

Is the Bible (gasp!) boring? This set of limericks may change your mind, or at least supply you with enough puns to keep your students awake all semester and enough rhymes to jog their memories before the exam.

Or perhaps you want to get onto (or removed from) the church sign committee. Looking at familiar (or less familiar) biblical passages and events in church history from a different angle may even provide new insights—especially if the viewing angle is slightly askew.

And, as Proverbs 17:22 says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine," so buckle your seatbelt for a ride on the Romans road less taken.
