Chapter 1: Introduction to "the Good" Chapter 2: Background and Lexical Analysis Chapter 3: Galatians Chapter 4: 1 and 2 Thessalonians Chapter 5: 1 and 2 Corinthians Chapter 6: Romans Chapter 7: Philippians and Philemon Chapter 8: Conclusions and Implications

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
