Learning to Laugh

December 12th, 2004 by Glenn Hoburg

In his book “Redeeming Laughter”, well known sociologist Peter Berger says that laughter can be a signal of redemption (or of grace). Laughter can be like the sound of hope breaking in. But, we are also aware another kind of laughter–that which is full of scorn and derision. We find both types of laughter present in the life of Sarah in Genesis. And, how God turns her laughter of derision into laughter that knows the promise of grace.
