Description
Summary:In this first of a series of two articles dealing with Johannine irony, the current state of affairs with regard to the understanding of Johannine irony is examined. The basic sources and their approaches are discussed. This discussion is followed by an examination of some of the problematic instances these works refer to. It is argued that there are some serious problems regarding the understanding of Johannine irony and that a significant re-examination of this phenomenon in John is necessary. In the second of the two articles probable causes of this problematic situation are indicated and some suggestions made as to how a better understanding and explanation of Johannine irony might be achieved.
