Incorporating perspectives from religious studies humor studies cultural and film studies and theology as well as original data from textual analysis and the voices of religious comedians this book critically analyses the experiences of believers who appreciate that their faith is not necessarily a barrier to their laughter. It is often thought that religion and humor are incompatible but Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture shows that humor is not only a popular means of entertainment but also a way in which an individual or community expresses their identity and values. Elisha McIntyre argues that believers embrace their sense of humor actively producing and consciously consuming comic entertainment that reflects their own experiences.
