Sinopsis

This book addresses the fact that Americans tend to live under a considerable amount of stress, tension, and anxiety, and suggests that humor can be helpful in alleviating their distress. It posits that humor is a useful placebo in this regard, cites studies that show that humor moderates life stress, considers the relationship of religion and humor, especially as means to alleviate anxiety, proposes that Jesus had a sense of humor, suggests that his parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard has humorous implications for the relief of occupational stress, explores the relationship of gossip and humor, and suggests that Jesus and his disciples were a joking community. It concludes that Jesus viewed the kingdom of God as a worry-free existence.
