Endorsements
Situating him among figures as disparate as Fulton Sheen and Lenny Bruce, this new book makes a compelling case for why Stephen Colbert is not only an influential humorist, but also an effective evangelist. Combining the interpretative skills of an academic with a natural appreciation for pop culture, Brehm offers a lively look at why the 'new evangelization' may be just as much the responsibility of comics as of clerics.
