Explores the Apostle Paul's use of shame and reclaims its positive usage for moral formation.
2020 Center for Biblical Studies Book Award (New Testament)
Our culture often views shame in a negative light. However, Paul''s use of shame, when properly understood and applied, has much to teach the contemporary church. Filling a lacuna in Pauline scholarship, this book shows how Paul uses shame to admonish and to transform the minds of his readers into the mind of Christ. The author examines Paul''s use of shame for moral formation within his Jewish and Greco-Roman context, compares and contrasts Paul''s use of shame with other cultural voices, and offers a corrective understanding for today''s church. Foreword by Luke Timothy Johnson.
