Doing “the Good” in Paul’s Ethical Vision

In this carefully argued book, T. Luke Post shows that "good works" occupy a central, though often overlooked, place in Pauline ethics. Surveying a wide terrain of exegetical territory, Post makes a compelling case that believers "doing good" is a primary aim of Paul’s theological, social, and ethical agenda.

Despite the longstanding debate surrounding the relationship between faith and good works in St. Paul''s writings, no one to date has undertaken a thorough examination of Paul''s use of "good" terminology in ethical contexts. This book seeks to fill this gap by examining every place in Paul''s undisputed writings (and the disputed 2 Thessalonians) that he uses the terms agathos and kalos (and their cognates) in an ethically significant way. 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.
