The use of irony throughout the Bible is considered by New Testament scholar Gregory K. Beale. Beale argues that God's pattern of divine irony finds its best expression in Jesus's triumph over death through death on the cross.
G. K. Beale (PhD, University of Cambridge) is professor of New Testament and biblical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary. In recent years he has served as president and member of the executive committee of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has written several books and articles on biblical studies.
