Rather, this humor concerns the mocking of Jonah and the reversal of Esther. Such humor subverts commonplace assumptions about our ordered, controlled world. Walker is a good reader who shows us how much we have yet to learn about the text and how much we have yet to unlearn.""--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary""Illuminating Humor of the Bible is a gift to the careful and caring reader. Walker''s love for the Bible--not for the traditional, life-dampening interpretations so many foist upon the unsuspecting, but the actual biblical text--shines through on each page, living up to the title in every way. Walker sees the text with fresh, enthusiastic eyes that dare to have a twinkle in them.""--Charles Swift, Brigham Young University""Many readers don''t see humor in the Bible, often because they don''t expect it or don''t know how to look for it. . . . Walker''s solid, often detailed treatment will reward those willing to explore by identifying where the humor is, how it works, and how it can surprise us with new insights about living.""--Howard R.
