AB In the first of this series of two articles, the current problematic situation with regard to Johannine irony was pointed out. In this article some probable reasons for this are discussed, and the argument is offered that the current methodologies might be fruitfully combined with others. Speech act theory and the contribution this makes towards developing a methodology for understanding ironical speech acts are discussed, and a plea is made for a thorough re-examination of Johannine irony in the light of the reasons for the failure of current understanding of irony and the additional perspective speech act theory might offer.
