Description:
Here the author explores the place of comedy in the Hebrew Bible. J. William Whedbee shows how the comic vision plays a profound and pervasive role in such central biblical books as Genesis, Exodus, Esther, Jonah, Job, and the Song of Songs. The study highlights how biblical comedy serves as a vital strategy to deal with death and despair and to revel in the laughter of life and love.
