An episode in which I answer questions from my Patreon supports around (1) why humor in the Bible is so difficult to spot, (2) how growing spritiually affects our ability to find belonging, and (3) whether Stoicism might support or hinder us with regard to the mystical. I mention a few books, including Steven Walker's 'Illuminating Humor of the Bible' and Mary Beard's 'Laughter in Ancient Rome.' I've also written about humour and theology here: http://journal.radicalorthodoxy.org/index.php/ROTPP/article/view/125
