- Abstract
- Drawing on homiletical theories of narrative preaching, from comedy research, from interviews with comedians, and from a series of sermons from his own pulpit, the author identified multiple ways that the rhetorical strategies of jokes and the methods of stand-up comedians can be effectively utilized in preaching. By employing insights gleaned from studying comedy, preachers can expose listeners' false assumptions and prompt them to reinterpret interpretation they thought they already knew. He found that strategies and techniques from stand-up comedy amplify the authenticity, immediacy, effect, and power preachers communicate when presenting the gospel message.
