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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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. \u003c\/p\u003e -- David R.
