Most Christians read the Bible far too seriously.
But what if Scripture contains far more humor, irony, satire, and laughter than we've been taught to see?
In this conversation, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with humor scholar Dr. Terry Lindvall to explore the hidden comedy of the Bible—from Sarah's laughter and Noah's drunkenness to Jewish humor, biblical irony, and the surprising ways God uses humor throughout Scripture.
Why do we miss so much of the Bible's humor? Did God intend for His people to laugh? And what happens when we rediscover the joy, playfulness, and humanity woven into the biblical story?
This is Part 1 of a fascinating conversation on humor, satire, and the Bible.
