An Honorific Gospel: Biblically Faithful \u0026 Culturally Relevant Christians engaged in communicating the gospel navigate a challenging tension: faithfulness to Godâs ancient, revealed Wordâand relevance to the local, current social context. What if there was a lens or paradigm offering both? Understanding the Bibleâparticularly the gospelâthrough the ancient cultural âlanguageâ 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 contextsâfor 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 newâoffering fresh wisdom to Christian leaders and optimism to the church for our quest to expand Christâs kingdom and serve the worldwide mission of God.
