Summary
This chapter reviews the major findings of the study and compares Paul’s use of sarcasm across the letters surveyed. Attention is paid to the way sarcasm contributes to Paul’s argumentation across the different rhetorical contexts of each letter and the ways in which Paul’s use of sarcasm reflects differences or developments in his relationships with the early Christian congregations represented in his letters.
