New Testaments; Criticism & exegesis of sacred texts

Despite the longstanding debate surrounding the relationship between faith and good works in the apostle Paul's writings, no one to date has undertaken a thorough examination of Paul's use of “good” terminology in ethical contexts. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining Paul’s use of ?γαθ?ς and καλ?ς as these terms appear in his undisputed epistles and in 2 Thessalonians. Surveying a wide terrain of exegetical territory, T. Luke Post makes a compelling case that believers “doing good” is a primary aim of Paul’s theological, social, and ethical agenda.

Reviews for Doing “the Good” in Paul’s Ethical Vision

This book by Luke Post, Doing the Good in Paul's Ethical Vision, addresses an issue whose importance is so significant that no one can deny it, and yet one that has received virtually no scholarly attention. This study not only gives insight into the concept of goodness in Paul's thought, but also makes a significant contribution to Pauline ethics. Although careful in exegetical details, it is clearly, and even elegantly, written; for an academic treatise, it is a rather easy read. It is also a model for methodological integrity and clarity in moving from exegetical considerations to ethical conclusions. -- David R. Bauer, Asbury Theological Seminary
