Is Laurence Sterne one of the great Christian apologists? Ryan
Stark recommends him as such, perhaps to the detriment of the
parson's roguish reputation. The book's aim, however, is not to
dispel roguishness but rather to discern the theological motives
behind Sterne's comic rhetoric, from Tristram Shandy and the
sermons to A Sentimental Journey. To this end, Stark reveals a
veritable avalanche of biblical themes and allusions to be found in
Sterne, often and seemingly awkwardly in the middle of sex jokes,
and yet the effect is not to produce irreverence. On the contrary,
we find an irreverently reverent apologetic, Stark argues, and a
priest who knows how to play gracefully with religious ideas.
Through Sterne, in fact, we might rethink humour's role in the
service of religion.
