Alexander Welsh examines the intersection of comedic tradition and religious belief, tracing a three-thousand-year history of humanist perspectives. By analyzing canonical texts from antiquity to the modern era, the author explores how humor serves as a critical tool for navigating faith, skepticism, and the complexities of the human condition within Western intellectual discourse.
