<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Christians engaged in communicating the gospel navigate a challenging tension: faithfulness to God's ancient, revealed Word and relevance to the local, current social context. What if there was a lens or paradigm offering both? Understanding the Bible--particularly the gospel--through the ancient cultural "language" of honor-shame offers believers this double blessing. In Honor, Shame, and the Gospel, over a dozen practitioners and scholars from diverse contexts and fields add to the ongoing conversation around the theological and missiological implications of an honorific gospel. Eight illuminating case studies explore ways to make disciples in a diversity of social contexts--for example, East Asian rural, Middle Eastern refugee, African tribal, and Western secular urban. Honor, Shame, and the Gospel provides valuable resources to impact the ministry efforts of the church, locally and globally. Linked with its ancient honor-shame cultural roots, the gospel, paradoxically, is ever new--offering fresh wisdom to Christian leaders and optimism to the church for our quest to expand Christ's kingdom and serve the worldwide mission of God. --back<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>An Honorific Gospel: Biblically Faithful & Culturally Relevant </p><p>Christians engaged in communicating the gospel navigate a challenging tension: faithfulness to God's ancient, revealed Word-</em>and relevance to the local, current social context</em>.
