This anthology explores the intersection of humor and laughter with various faith, religious, and mythic traditions.
Each chapter covers a unique case where humor and laughter have intersected with some part of a religious, cultural, or mythic tradition and explores how and why laughter and humor are important in those stories. The authors also explore how the role of humor and laughter shaped and influenced the various religions, cultures, or myths and what that might mean to the parent society. Finally, authors reflect on the influence of humor and laughter in the modern world.
