"Sacred Play should … be read by any scholar looking to consider religion and humour as a field of inquiry because it grounds humour in complex webs of social interaction that are both immediate and structurally supported and shows how humour is involved in domination by and resistance to, freedom from and captivity by, the social systems in which religious people and their traditions are embedded" — Studies in Religion
