2 Jesus’ use of comedy is not often mentioned in Christian literature but is highlighted in a slim but useful book, now out of print, called The Humor of Christ by Elton Trueblood. (Yes, he really is called Elton Trueblood. With a name like that, he should be writing Gothic fiction, but instead he chose to write a book demonstrating that Jesus employed comedy far more often than it first appears; Elton Trueblood, The Humor of Christ (New York: Harper and Row, 1964).)
