Book Synopsis And God Created Laughter by : M. Conrad Hyers

Download or read book And God Created Laughter written by M. Conrad Hyers. This book was released on 1987-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing "a playful spirit" as part of our human makeup, Conrad Hyers shows how laughter and humor are integral to our serious study of the Bible. He opens the joy of understanding the Bible in its fullness. With the darker realities of the Bible -- sin, suffering, and death -- there coexists a lighter side -- laughter, humor, and playfulness. Competent biblical study requires both perspectives. This highly readable, preachable, and teachable work gives ministers, students, lay readers a valuable tool for recovering the spirit and offers a chance to share in the celebration of life and the divine comedy of faith, hope, and love.

Book Synopsis William Blake’s Comic Vision by : N. Rawlinson

Download or read book William Blake’s Comic Vision written by N. Rawlinson. This book was released on 2002-11-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blake's comic brilliance has been variously dismissed as the nervous ramblings of a neglected genius, the tomfool doodles of a distracted youngster, or a crude tool for destabilizing textual authority. But, for the eighteenth century, comedy played a pivotal role in debates on aesthetics, education, spirituality and morality. This exciting new study blends a close reading of Blake's early work with fascinating historical research to demonstrate that the comic was an essential component of Blake's artistic Vision.

Book Synopsis On Humour and the Comic in the Hebrew Bible by : Athalya Brenner-Idan

Download or read book On Humour and the Comic in the Hebrew Bible written by Athalya Brenner-Idan. This book was released on 1990-10-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In comparison with other literary aspects of the Old Testament, humour has suffered much scholarly neglect. The present collection of essays (by the editors and ten other authors) argues that humour is plentiful in biblical literature and that many passages, indeed even whole books, can be properly understood only when the humorous intention of the author is acknowledged. This collection is a particularly interesting, innovative and provocative one.
