Abstract

This article highlights the development of a contextual theology among Russian Evangelical Christians. The prevalence of jokes in Russian culture makes humor an easy entrée into constructing a Russian local theology. The author proposes a process through which humor can be used as a way to make the Bible more relevant and more effective to the Russian people.
