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 contributors 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. Each author also adds a bit of reflection on how they think their work is relevant to issues of humor in our modern world.
Michael K. Cundall Jr. is professor of philosophy at North Carolina A&T State University, USA.
