| 520 | _a"Wit and Humor of the Bible: A Literary Study" by Marion D. Shutter is a literary analysis written in the late 19th century. This work explores the presence and significance of wit and humor within biblical texts, challenging the perception that the Bible is solely a source of solemnity and gravity. The author aims to illuminate this often-overlooked aspect, asserting that humor in the Bible serves to enhance its messages and provide deeper insights into its characters and teachings. The opening portion introduces the author's intentions and rationale for examining the literary qualities of the Scriptures, particularly through the lens of humor. Shutter reflects on how, throughout history, biblical writings have been treated with utmost reverence, often overlooking their creative elements. He outlines his belief that humor is an essential and legitimate element of literature that exists alongside serious themes, intending to awaken interest in the lighter aspects of biblical narratives. The preface and introductory sections set the stage for a deeper exploration of various biblical examples, asserting that humor can coexist with profound messages and moral teachings.
