Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Thor Ramsey (hereafter known as the Jon Stewart of the theological world) defends the essentials of the Christian faith in this volume of comedy for the thinking person. Armed with only a laptop and a rapier wit, he defends the inspiration of the Bible (all Scripture is inspired by God; in other words, when you tell someone off, quote the Bible), the doctrine of total depravity (calling someone out for their sins is a tricky business, especially if you don't know how to operate a bullhorn), and the supremacy of Christ (or why Thor's God is bigger than your god), along with a host of other essential doctrines of the Christian faith. Packed with funny stories and hard-hitting truths, this comprehensive collection of biblical insights and personal anecdotes will surprise readers, destroy their misconceptions and leave them wanting more. For readers looking alternatives to the conversation of traditional faith, or those who have a taste for fearless (and hilarious) honesty, A Comedian's Guide to Theology will permanently change how we all look at Christianity or at least offer a good-hearted shove out of the box (or back in the box, if that's where you need to be).
What a supreme pleasure to read a book that I find powerfully honest, theologically kapow dead-on, and incredibly and ACTUALLY funny funny funny funny! This book is so brilliantly funny and dead-on that if I weren't a very mature Christian I might be jealous.

This guy's funny...and highly opinionated.
You may or may not agree with everything in this book. In fact, you might be offended at it. It's not kosher. Thor doesn't hold back as he beats you in the head with what he sees as valuable.
I highly recommend reading it.
It's a funny, easy read (unless you're living like a heathen, in which case it might torment you) that makes you often stop and question what you believe. We need more of this in the body of Christ. While he definitely has his opinions, and he's not shy about letting you know what he thinks, we would do well to think long and hard about what he has to say.
If you aren't one to understand (and love) sarcasm, this isn't the book for you. After all, a comedian DID write it. If you can take the punches, this might just help you in this life AND the life to come.
Get it. Chew on it. Feel free to disagree, but don't disagree based on your feelings about God. Who would have thought that a comedian could be so staunch of a Christian?
Much love for Thor.

It is so refreshing for a Christian author to shed the facades and pretense and get down into the real nitty-gritty of this thing we call life. Human beings who pretend they don't struggle (doubt, temptation, etc.)are both liars, and fools.(**My words, not the author's.**) Thor skillfully intertwines biblical truth, hilarious insight, and the reality of the difficulties of our existence. He's "real", and I can relate. I have a feeling more will feel the same...if they read it that is.

First, let me say that I know that more than 10 people agreed to write a review when they bought Thor's book at one of his shows......where is everyone? :)
Although I haven't finished the book yet, I already have a lot of pages marked with great quotes. Thor puts in writing what some are afraid of saying - it's about time!
Thanks for the laughs, Thor......hope there's more in the future!

Comedian. Theologian. These word appear antithetical but Thor narrows the gap in this book. Thor defends historical, orthodox Christianity and brings to light some often overlooked theological undertones of the emergent church. The unique perspective of Thor's comedic mind kept me engaged from beginning to end. I found myself tracking with a theological point one moment and the subsequent moment being "slapped upside the head" by a joke I never saw coming. Good stuff. Any book that causes multiple "hey, honey listen to this..." moments is a keeper. Don't borrow it, buy it.

This book is so worth the time! It is enjoyable and funny, but Thor hits home with what seems to be simple Biblical teaching and truths that we make hard to live by. I truly enjoyed it and appreciate its challenge to live its message.
