Rezensionen

"David Feltmate undertakes pioneering work to establish the study of religion and humour within the field of religious studies. In a day when the enjoyment of memes has become a daily practice among social media users, Feltmate's critical reflection on humour as a lens on religion is welcome indeed."

David Morgan, Duke University, USA

"Having taught undergraduate courses in religion and humour for almost a decade, I wish this book had been available for students before now. Feltmate's contemporary focus and comprehensive approach is especially welcome. I have learned much from him, not only about religion and humour, but also about scholarship and teaching."

Philippa A. Carter, McMaster University, Canada
