This study argues that irony arises when an author or speaker assumes the divine perspective on human events, viewing them from the point of view enjoyed by the gods. The literary-critical evaluation of irony since the mid-twentieth century has concentrated on the attempt to "stabilize" irony and thereby restrict ironic interpretations of literary works. This attempt is part of a larger argument in literary studies over who controls the meaning of a literary work, the author or the reader/critic. Ultimately, irony appears to be a term with no definitive meaning, the product of a critical enterprise that over time identified particular literary devices and perspectives a irony.

It is generally agreed that there is significant irony in the Bible. However, to date no work has been published in biblical scholarship that on the one hand includes interpretations of both Hebrew Bible and New Testament writings under the perspective of irony, and on the other hand offers a panorama of the approaches to the different types and functions of irony in biblical texts. The following volume: (1) reevaluates scholarly definitions of irony and the use of the term in biblical research; (2) builds on existing methods of interpretation of ironic texts; (3) offers judicious analyses of methodological approaches to irony in the Bible; and (4) develops fresh insights into biblical passages.
