How the Bible’s Irony Combats the Prosperity Gospel

Irony

“There are two kinds of biblical or theological irony. There is retributive irony whereby God punishes people by the very means of their own sin. There is also redemptive irony whereby the faithful appear to be cursed, but as they persevere in faith, they are really in the midst of being blessed.” - G. K. Beale
