Steven Colbert: Where Faith Meets Comedy

April 18th, 2009 by J.R. Miller Leave a reply »

Steven Colbert is known for his political satire (notice that I even posted his picture on the right!), but Colbert sometimes breaks out of the political box and offers a comedic look at his Christian faith.

Yes, Colbert is a Christian–at least that is his own personal confession from NPR back in 2007 where he shares his experience teaching Sunday School, his definition of God, and his view on Hell.

Okay, so now here is the part where comedy meets faith. Take this June 2006 “debate” between Colbert’s alter ego and Bart Ehrman while they discuss the history of the word of Jesus.

Ehrman came out looking pretty bad, but he had the guts to come back and promote another book in April 2009.

  • Is there a winner or loser, or is this just pure entertainment?
