Doing "e;the Good"e; in Paul's Ethical Vision

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 "e;good"e; terminology in ethical contexts. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining Paul's use of ?ya??? and [kappa]a??? 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 "e;doing good"e; is a primary aim of Paul's theological, social, and ethical agenda.
