Those of you visiting here from the link in the piece at the CNN Belief Blog by Edward J. Blum and myself, What All Those Jesus Jokes Tell Us (CNN Belief Blog, Sunday, November 11), welcome!

This piece on Jesus and contemporary humor is just a brief summary of a much longer discussion of that subject in our book The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America. Please follow the link to learn more about our book, or go here to purchase the book on amazon.
