"At last! A book on preaching that takes comedy seriously! This isn’t about dressing up tired sermons with clever jokes and anecdotes. Rather, it teaches us to preach with humor and with hope under the smiling gaze of God." - Richard F. Ward, Iliff School of Theology
"Webb gives legs to the popular (and abstract) notion of 'celebration' in preaching. Here, finally is a compelling picture of and practical advice about what celebration in preaching looks like." - Jana Childers, San Francisco Theological Seminary
"Webb’s literary treatment of the comic spirit in preaching is so well-grounded theologically and exegetically that the tragicomic aspects of life and faith can be sounded forth from the pulpit no longer confined, as one neo-orthodox critic once suggested to an 'echo in the vestibule.'" - Evans E. Crawford, Howard University Divinity School
"Comedy and Preaching helps the preacher create comic sermons that are biblically faithful precisely because he guides us to interrelate with the text and not reiterate it. The section on how and why to preach without notes is alone worth the price of the book." - Doug Adams, Pacific School of Religion
