"A fresh and fascinating contribution to Pauline studies"
Joshua Jipp places Paul's writings within the timeless pursuit of human flourishing, happiness, and the good life, reframing the task of Pauline theology as an encouragement to pursue a particular way of life.
"Entrepreneurs, bloggers, and talking heads of all sorts are all too happy to promote their visions of what makes for the 'good life, ' but few people would connect that topic with the apostle Paul. Joshua Jipp begs to differ. In this informed and wide-ranging study, Jipp puts Paul's Letters in conversation with both ancient philosophy and contemporary positive psychology. The result is an energetic invitation to read Paul's theology as nothing less than 'a way of life.'"
--Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Princeton Theological Seminary (emerita)
"Jipp's three-way conversation on the topic of human flourishing, involving ancient moral philosophers, contemporary exponents of positive psychology, and the apostle Paul, is brilliantly conceived and masterfully executed. Far from simply locating superficial similarities, Jipp vigorously interrogates the interlocutors, and in the process provides a rich and nuanced appreciation for Paul, not as a systematic theologian but as a pastor seeking to shape his readers into a distinctive way of life. A fresh and fascinating contribution to Pauline studies that can profitably be read by all students of the human condition."
--Luke Timothy Johnson, Emory University (emeritus)
"Joshua Jipp's book is not so much an addition to the enormous mountain of books on Pauline theology as it is a consideration of what Pauline theology might be for to begin with. What is Paul up to, as it were, with all this theology? Jipp's answer is at once both ancient and contemporary: Paul's theology is aimed at the good life. It works to shape those for whom it matters into people whose Christlike transformation brings them deeper and deeper into what a good life actually is. Jipp is that rare combination of a prolific and thoughtful scholar, and this newest addition to his body of work shows learning and conceptual refinement. It is also a reframing of Paul in ways that are important to consider and also, as it turns out, existentially rich, pastorally relevant, and quietly inspiring."
--C. Kavin Rowe, Duke Divinity School
