Luke Post has filled a gaping hole in our understanding of Paul's ethics. Because we throw around the word "good" with unthinking abandon, we simply pass over the many references to this term in Paul, not considering precisely what it means. But Post shows convincingly that "good" is central to Paul's vision of the Christian life, and that Paul employs it with specific content. Post offers here no mere word study, but rather adopts a sophisticated, holistic methodological model that will serve well as a framework for the examination of other biblical themes.
