Abstract
Humor is an integral part of society. The idea that humor and laughter are good for one’s health
and psyche is well known, and many researchers praise the role that humor plays in society.
Humor also plays an important role in Christian preaching and is found in various sermon
contexts. However, whether the humor used in preaching is always of good quality, is doubtful.
This article aims to highlight the role of humor in preaching. The phenomenon of humor and the
role of humor in the Bible is described and, lastly, the use of humor in preaching is explored.
