This is a rather variable book with a couple of fascinating chapters, including different heresies, sects and cults and translation and printing errors but with other rather dull sections with strange things that students, celebrities and pop culture think about the Bible. The title suggests this book contains funny items but there aren't many of those, it's a general look at the way in which people have misread the Bible or chosen to amend it. The author makes some rather strange generalisations at times and his particular theological and doctrinal standpoint is always portrayed as absolute truth (and people with other views are often shown as wrong or heretical, particularly Roman Catholics) and his anti-communist sentiments seem decades out of date, but the book is worth reading for the good chapters and there were some interest new insights into Christianity and Bible translation through the ages.
