Through exegetical studies of 1 Corinthians and Galatians, John
Lewis shows how Paul synthesises theology and ethics - which
interpreters frequently separate - as integrated aspects of
Christian thinking and living. This fusion becomes evident in
Paul's complex process of theological, moral reasoning that lies
beneath the surface of his letters for which we have coined the
phrase 'theo-ethical reasoning'. The book also examines how Paul
encourages his churches to apply this theo-ethical reasoning in the
community practice of spiritual discernment - a dialogical,
comparative process of reasoned reflection on behaviour and
experience. Through this practice of looking for life, community
members are led by the Spirit as they reason together, attempting
to associate the manifestations of new life with conduct that
faithfully portrays Christ's self-giving pattern. This correlation
of conduct with experience grounds Paul's own proclamation of Jesus
Christ in word and deed. It also becomes the foundation for
believers' faith and hope as they come to know Christ and
experience the power of God. Thus, the book concludes that the
practice of spiritual discernment by means of theo-ethical
reasoning lies at the centre of Paul's religion.
