This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Terry Lindvall. If you haven't seen Part 1 yet, start there first: https://youtu.be/jBuZ6d7O2es
What happened to Christian humor?
For centuries, Christians laughed, joked, mocked hypocrisy, and used satire to expose pride, corruption, and foolishness. But somewhere along the way, many believers became afraid to laugh.
In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb and Dr. Terry Lindvall explore the forgotten history of Christian humor—from medieval monks and the Feast of Fools to Martin Luther, G.K. Chesterton, and the long tradition of holy mockery.
Why did Christians become so serious? Can satire be used faithfully? What's the difference between humor that heals and humor that harms?
This conversation is insightful, hilarious, and surprisingly relevant for the modern church.
