It posits that humor is a useful placebo in this regard; cites studies that show that humor moderates life stress; considers the relationship of religion and humor, especially as means to alleviate anxiety; proposes that Jesus had a sense of humor; suggests that his parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard has humorous implications for the relief of occupational stress; explores the relationship of gossip and humor; and suggests that Jesus and his disciples were a joking community. It concludes that Jesus viewed the kingdom of God as a worry-free existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cascade Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45129294741655,"sku":"9781498290395","price":3279.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781498290395.webp?v=1767145429","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/humor-us-9781498290395","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
