The Bible and humor

Sarah, 90 years old, hears that she will have a child, and laughs at the idea, from the Book of Genesis. James Tissot, c. 1900

The Bible and humor is a topic of Biblical criticism concerned with the question of whether parts of the Bible were intended to convey humor in any style. Historically, this topic has not received much attention, but modern scholars generally agree that humor can be found in biblical texts.
