from Part II - Sarcasm in Paul’s Letters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 December 2022
This chapter investigates the possibility of sarcasm in several passages, including Paul’s paradoxical discussion of divine foolishness (1 Cor 1:18–2:5), his setting Corinthian privilege against apostolic suffering in 4:8–13, and the interpretive crux of 11:19. Other potential sarcasm occurs in relation to the letter’s ‘Corinthian slogans’ (1 Cor 6:12; 8:1–13; 10:23). Critical thinking on how closely or loosely these slogans represent the Corinthians’ actual words or positions is employed to determine which slogans may be considered sarcastic.
