The central thesis is that figures such as tricksters, sacred clowns, and holy fools play an essential role in bridging the gap between the divine and the human by integrating the element of disequilibrium that results from the contact between incommensurable realities. This interdisciplinary and cross-cultural series of essays is devoted to spiritual, anthropological, and literary characters and phenomena that point to a deeper understanding of the various mythological, ceremonial, and mystical ways in which the fundamental ambiguity of existence is symbolized and acted out. Given its interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, this volume will appeal to scholars from a variety of fields. 606 $aLaughter$xReligious aspects 606 $aWit and humor$xReligious aspects 606 $aReligion$vHumor 615 0$aLaughter$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aWit and humor$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aReligion 676 $a202/.1 700 $aLaude$b Patrick$f1958-$01491252 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784158903321 996 $aDivine play, sacred laughter, and spiritual understanding$93818572 997 $aUNINA
