Description
A delicious collection of the very best of wit, satire and humorous quotations about the Church, its clergy, the people who put up with them - and vice versa. Spanning the centuries from Chaucer to the present day, it is a glorious send tup of the human foibles that so often get in the way when the Church tries to live up to its calling. Many familiar figures from literature and letters are included, but there are endless surprises and novelties too, making The Soul of Wit not only a book to give great pleasure, but an essential resource for speakers, writers and preachers too.
