Ep 108: Where Do We Find Humor in the Bible?
Rev. Dr. Karl Jacobson, an expert in Old Testament scholarship and former Senior Pastor, dives into the surprisingly humorous elements of the Bible. He discusses how Sarah's laughter at God's promise adds depth to the Genesis narrative. Jonah's over-the-top reactions provide ironic humor, contrasting non-Israelite repentance with his own disobedience. The conversation also explores joy in Biblical parables, revealing deeper meanings about forgiveness and God's nature. Jacobson emphasizes that humor in scripture enhances our understanding of grace and joy.
