Ha! A Christian Philosophy of Humor, by Peter Kreeft (St. Augustine’s Press)

The record-breaking TV series The Chosen has astonished, dumbfounded, and enchanted millions of viewers worldwide since airing in 2017. Its thoughtful approach to the scriptures and interesting representation of key biblical characters is remarkable. What has surprised me, however, is actor Jonathan Roumie’s portrayal of Jesus, specifically his inclusions of humor.
