Rese�a del editor:

The book opens with an introductory essay on humor and religion in which the author discusses jokes and anecdotes that are collected in the book in the context of the Judeo-Christian tradition and culture.

The jokes themselves are divided into several sections: Paradise Lost (Biblical themes); The Word and the Sword (religion and politics); The 11th Commandment (Jewish jokes); Born Again and Again (Catholic & Protestant jokes); New (Russian) Testament (Soviet & Orthodox Christian jokes); Priest, Swami and Rabbi (inter-religious humor); Sinning is Believing (self-explanatory); It will Only Look Like Eternity (jokes about the afterlife); and finally Fun Ever After (miscellaneous jokes).

The article by Peter Crimmins from WHYY public radio and the list of the sources concludes the book.
