Humorous religious talker Martin Luther and modern jester
Christian comedian Rev. Lowell D. Streiker, 59, promoted humor in faith as he releases An Encyclopedia of Humor from Hendrickson. He recalls Luther’s quip on heaven and shares jokes about clergy, bishops, and congregations while recounting his battle with colon cancer and recovery that inspired his project. He argues Jesus had a twinkle and jokes can illuminate sermons without offense.
