Na podstawie twórczości Gilberta Keitha Chestertona i Clive’a Staplesa Lewisa autor analizuje rolę humoru w duchowości chrześcijanina i związek humoru z wybranymi wartościami: pokorą, miłością, wolnością i prawdą. Jednym z wniosków jest ten, że obaj tytułowi pisarze uważali i ukazywali humor jako rodzaj indykatora, który wskazuje, z jaką autentycznością i głębią są przeżywane i realizowane wymienione wartości.
