In this book, Matthew Pawlak offers the first treatment of sarcasm in New Testament studies. He provides an extensive analysis of sarcastic passages across the undisputed letters of Paul, showing where Paul is sarcastic, and how his sarcasm affects our understanding of his rhetoric and relationships with the Early Christian congregations in Galatia, Rome, and Corinth. Pawlak's identification of sarcasm is supported by a dataset of 400 examples drawn from a broad range of ancient texts, including major case studies on Septuagint Job, the prophets, and Lucian of Samosata. These data enable the determination of the typical linguistic signals of sarcasm in ancient Greek, as well as its rhetorical functions. Pawlak also addresses several ongoing discussions in Pauline scholarship. His volume advances our understanding of the abrupt opening of Galatians, diatribe and Paul's hypothetical interlocutor in Romans, the 'Corinthian slogans' of First Corinthians, and the 'fool's speech' found within Second Corinthians 10-13.

Is Paul being ironic when he thanks God for the Corinthians in 1 Cor 1:4–9? On one hand, the apostle seems sincere as he gives thanks for God’s gifting of the church. On the other hand, it can be hard to trust Paul’s sincerity when the very things mentioned (e.g., “speech” and “knowledge”) will later be associated with Paul’s rebuke of the church. This book clarifies the apostle’s intent. A look at rhetorical ornamentation from Paul’s world reveals that he is using one of the most popular rhetorical figures of his day, called emphasis. The figure allows Paul to give thanks genuinely while implicitly chiding his audience through various hints. These hints prepare for every major section of the letter and the rebukes contained within them. Intriguingly, the only two comparable thanksgivings in the letter (1:14–16; 14:18–19) also employ emphasis. These passages all reveal a subtlety that is at once sincere, critical, and even humorous. They reveal that Paul is “thanking God emphatically.”

Covering the entire Pauline corpus the reader finds a man who was adept at persuasive arguments and providing theological answers to real and, often, thorny congregational issues. Readers have a keen understanding of Paul’s place in the early church, the relationship between church and synagogue, and the relationship between the teaching of Paul and that of Jesus. These discussions set Paul firmly within the church that existed before he joined, finding that he became an adherent to much that preceded him.
