At the foot of the Cross, as Jesus hung in agony, the crowd laughed. Christians, ever since, have been ambivalent about laughter. Debates about Christian laughter had a profound influence on many great humanist writers, including Erasmus and Rabelais. Here, Michael Screech illuminates the background to their writing and their individual achievements. 'Elegant and stimulating' Karen Armstrong, Independent
